📅 Thursday, July 23, 2026
Today offers a bit of a mixed bag, making it a decent day for a beach visit, though certainly not a calm one. You can expect plenty of sunshine, but be prepared for strong winds that will keep the coastline lively. With a max air temperature of 26.9 °C and a sea temperature of 23.1 °C, the water is pleasant enough for a swim, though the waves are running quite high today, so take care if you decide to head into the surf. The UV Index is high at 8.85, so don't forget to pack plenty of sun protection. While it stays dry throughout the day, the breezy conditions mean your towel might need a heavy anchor. Enjoy the refreshing atmosphere, but stay mindful of the rougher water conditions before jumping in.
