What each reading means
AEMET publishes these seven variables per beach. The first three are split into morning and afternoon; the rest are whole-day values.
Sky
Expected cloud cover. Split into morning and afternoon because it often shifts around midday on the coast.
Wind
Expected wind strength. From “moderate” upwards, offshore wind can drag inflatables and air beds out to sea.
Sea state
Expected wave height and power. “Slight” means calm water; “strong” means currents, and swimming is not advised for weak swimmers.
Max temperature
Highest air temperature expected for the day, in degrees Celsius.
Feels like
How hot or cold it actually feels, combining temperature and humidity. It can differ from the maximum by several degrees.
Water temperature
Expected sea water temperature, in degrees Celsius.
Max UV index
Peak ultraviolet radiation at solar noon. The higher it is, the faster skin burns.
Red Cross and authorised operators report flags, jellyfish, lifeguards and operational conditions. AEMET provides a forecast, not a live observation. Coves without their own code use the nearest labelled reference beach.
