TL;DR
Summer storms are fairly common in Batumi, especially after windy or rainy weather, and the city beach can feel cooler because of currents. For calmer water, travelers usually head south to Gonio, Kvariati, and Sarpi; the sea is typically warmer in August than in early or mid-summer.

In August, the sea in Batumi is usually warmer than in early summer: water often reaches about 24–27°C, while in June and early July it can feel distinctly cooler because of currents and changing weather.

If Batumi is rough, travelers usually check the beaches south of the city — Gonio, Kvariati, and Sarpi. These spots are often better for swimming when central Batumi has stronger waves, although in a full storm the sea can be rough everywhere.

Rough sea conditions are not unusual on the Batumi coast in summer: after rain, wind, or a weather change, waves can build up quickly on the city beach, so it’s worth checking the wind and wave forecast for the Adjara coast before heading out.
