📅 Monday, June 8, 2026
Today is an average day at the beach, best suited for a scenic walk rather than a traditional swim. While the air temperature will reach 20.6 °C, the sea remains quite cold at 15.3 °C, making it unsuitable for swimming. You will encounter noticeably strong winds today, accompanied by rough waves crashing against the shore, which creates a dramatic atmosphere but makes water activities dangerous. The sky will feature a mix of sun and clouds, so be sure to protect yourself as the UV Index is 8.3. Given the powerful wind conditions and chilly water, this is a great day to enjoy the coastal views and fresh air from the cliffs, but please keep a safe distance from the water's edge.
