How it works
Is the sea rough in Malta today?
It depends on the coast. The wind decides which side of the islands is rough: a north-westerly roughens the north-west and west, while a north-easterly or easterly hits the north and east. The map and the calendar above show which beaches are calm on each island, today and for the next few days.
Which beaches are safe to swim at today?
The calmest beaches are listed above for each island. Always follow the flags and lifeguards where there are any: red means don't swim, even if the sea looks calm here.
Where can I check the wind in Malta?
This page shows the wind speed, direction and gusts for Malta, Gozo and Comino right now and for the next five days. Each beach page has its own forecast for later today and tomorrow.
How far ahead is the beach forecast?
Five days. Forecasts more than two or three days out can change, so check again the day before you go.
