Sea water temperature on Estonian beaches

Sea water temperature is one of the most important indicators of beach weather. Water warming depends on sunshine, wind direction and air temperature.

Popular beaches and their conditions:

  • Pirita Beach (Tallinn) – often slightly cooler water with strong wind
  • Pärnu Beach – shallow water that warms quickly in summer
  • Haapsalu Beach – good for a calm summer day
  • Narva-Jõesuu – long sandy beaches, exposed to wind
  • Kuressaare Beach – maritime climate and moderate wind

At the height of summer, sea water temperature can rise above +20 °C, but with stronger wind, cooler deep water may surface.

Wind at the beach and its effect

Wind strength and direction affect beach weather more than inland. On the coast, wind can be noticeably stronger, especially in autumn and winter.

Important factors when assessing beach weather:

  • 🌬 Wind speed – over 10 m/s can disrupt beach time
  • 🧭 Wind direction – sea wind can cool, land wind can bring warmth
  • 🌊 Wave height – important for swimmers and surfers

Calm wind and sunny weather create the best conditions for the beach.

Wave height and sea state

When assessing beach weather, it is worth following wave height. Strong wind can cause larger waves that affect swimming safety.

Wave height depends on:

  • wind strength
  • wind duration
  • sea exposure

On open coastlines, e.g. on Saaremaa and Hiiumaa, wave height can be greater than in sheltered bays.

For full marine info (wave height, sea level, wind at sea) see marine weather. Surfers can get more detailed info from the surf page with wind map and coastal station data.

Beach cameras and live view

Live beach cameras help assess beach weather before going. The camera image gives an overview of cloud cover, wind strength and how busy the beach is. Live view helps plan your beach day better.

Beach weather by region

North Estonia beach weather

By the Gulf of Finland, wind can be stronger and the sea cooler than in South Estonia.

West Estonia and islands

On the islands, the climate is maritime. Wind is more common and wave height can be greater.

South Estonia

By inland lakes, wind is often lighter and water can warm faster than in the sea.

When is the best beach weather in Estonia?

The best beach weather is usually in June, July and August, when:

  • air temperature exceeds +20 °C
  • wind is light or moderate
  • cloud cover is low
  • sea water temperature is above +18 °C

During heat waves, the beach can be very warm, but sea wind helps balance the temperature.

Beach weather and safety

When at the beach, consider:

  • strong wind
  • thunderstorms
  • large waves
  • UV radiation

In case of thunder risk, also follow the lightning mapwhich shows lightning activity in real time.
