Beach weather in Estonia today gives an overview of current conditions at popular beaches across the country. Here you will find up-to-date information on air temperature, sea water temperature, wind speed and direction, and possible precipitation. When assessing beach weather, it is important to follow not only air temperature but also wind, cloud cover and water warmth.

If you are searching for "beach weather today", "sea water temperature" or "is it good for swimming", this page brings together all the information you need. Coastal areas can differ from inland – sea wind can make a hot day cooler or bring stronger gusts.

For detailed marine info (waves, sea level, wind at open sea) see the marine weather page. For surfers and sailors, the surf page with wind map and coastal station data.

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.
