Sunny Santa Ponsa: A Mild October Day to Breathe

Santa Ponsa shows its quiet side

Today, on October 8, 2025, Santa Ponsa lives up to its reputation as a cozy coastal town. Early in the morning, the sun peeked over the upper parking lots at the Platja, and a few dog walkers were pacing their rounds — I ran into two neighbors who started the day with coffee from the kiosk on the promenade. Light wind, hardly any clouds and a blue sky that isn't overpowering: autumn here feels pleasantly that way.

The numbers, short and practical

Morning temperature: about 19.5 °C — chilly enough for a light jacket at 8 a.m., but not really cold. Midday: around 22.6 °C, an ideal time for a walk along the breakwater or a sandwich in the shade of the pines. Afternoon: around 21.9 °C, very pleasant for a round of mini-golf with kids or an iced coffee. Evening: still about 20.6 °C — you can keep the terrace open.

Wind, humidity and the question of rain

The air pressure is around 1020 hPa, humidity around 64%. A light breeze from the southwest (roughly 2.9 m/s) rustles the palms by the harbor; gusts are weak, around 2.5 m/s. Rain? No. The clouds remain to a minimum — if you get wet today, you have probably fallen in love with ice cream and forgot to eat it.

Tips for the day

• Breakfast on the promenade: The small bakery on Calle del Mar opens at 7:30. Outdoor seating is great today.
• Beach walk: Especially beautiful between the bathhouses; twilight brings surprising colors at this time of year.
• Short boat trip: A light breeze makes the sea calm enough for a small tour to Cala Blanca.

In short: a day to breathe in and out. Pack a light jacket, bring enough water, and don't forget sun protection — even in October the sun can bite. I wish all readers a relaxing day in Santa Ponsa, perhaps with a slice of cake after the beach stroll. That has become customary here.
