While the maximum air temperature of 26.5 °C feels warm and comfortable for lounging on the sand, the sea temperature of 17.3 °C is far too cold for anyone to safely enter the water. You will experience a mix of sunshine and cloud cover, creating a relaxed environment for a coastal stroll or reading by the shore. The wind is generally light, though you may feel some occasional breezy moments throughout the afternoon. With waves running quite high, the surf will be visually impressive but is currently not suitable for recreational activities. Please keep to the dry sand and enjoy the fresh air, as the water conditions remain strictly for viewing only.
