    Pauba Sea Temperature

    Sunny with very warm air temperatures, feeling like 28.0 °C once we account for any wind. Sea temperatures (22.7 °C) warm too. Staying warm in the water won't be a problem in board-shorts, but wear at least a rash-vest to keep the UV off.

    Today, many surfers would wear a rashvest wetsuit.
