Pendower Beach Sea Temperature

Sunny with very warm air temperatures, feeling like 27.0 °C once we account for air movement. In contrast the sea remains relatively cold (18.8 °C). Surfers should wear a spring or summer wetsuit though no doubt some would wear less neoprene on such a warm day, no matter what temperature the sea is.

Today, many surfers would wear a spring wetsuit.
