Cala Rajada feels late-summer: sun, sea and mild evenings

A late-summer day on the east coast

Anyone walking along Cala Rajada's harbor promenade this morning takes a deep breath: the scent of the sea mixes with fresh espresso. The sun is high in the sky, and the day remains—without much fuss—clear. As early as 8:30 a small café serves the first coffee to early risers, a few anglers test their lines, and the light breeze brings salt to the skin. Ideal for spreading out a beach towel or simply counting the boats aimlessly, and similar conditions were noted in Cala Rajada: Clear Sky and Mild Late Summer on August 31.

The numbers – short and sweet

The temperatures remain pleasantly moderate: at night values dropped to around 16.6 °C, in the early morning they were just over 19 °C. During the day the thermometer climbs to about 22.7 °C; even the late afternoon stays warm. Even in the later hours it's about 21 °C – perfect conditions for an evening walk by the water. These values are consistent with Mild late-summer day in Cala Rajada: warm, partly cloudy and sail-friendly.

How it feels

The perceived temperature largely matches the measured values. In the morning it is just above 19 °C, during the day you feel about 21 °C and in the warmest part of the afternoon the thermometer reaches a perceived 22–23 °C. Still: the sun is strong; anyone who stays in the sun longer should not forget sunscreen—the UV can bite faster than you think, as noted in sun safety advice from the CDC.

Air, wind and sea

The air pressure remains stable at around 1020 hPa, humidity is about 58 %. The wind blows mostly from the southeast (around 160–165°) with moderate gusts; the average speed is around 4 m/s, peaks reach about 4.3 m/s. The sea is accordingly calm – no large waves, no showers in sight. For small boat trips or paddle excursions the water is inviting.

Everyday moments and recommendations

Around 6 pm a detour to Cala Romántica is worthwhile: locals walking dogs stroll along the shore, the last fishing boats glide leisurely into the harbor – a small, familiar scene that happens here almost daily.

People sit on the plaza with an Aperol or a café con leche, children play, and the cicadas typical of the steppe can still be heard.

Our practical tip: light clothing is enough during the day. For the evening a light jacket is recommended – temperatures do not drop sharply, but the sea breeze makes it cool. Sunscreen, a hat and a towel are still good companions. For those who want to escape the crowds: a walk to the small cove behind the marina brings peace and great photo opportunities.

In short: Cala Rajada presents itself friendly and relaxed. A day like this reminds us why we appreciate the transition between summer and autumn – warm afternoons, mild nights and the calm only the sea can give. Enjoy it.
