📅 Saturday, April 25, 2026
Today is an average day at the beach, best suited for lounging rather than swimming. While the air temperature reaches 23.2 °C and the sun shines through broken clouds, the sea remains quite cool at 19.2 °C, making it too chilly for a comfortable swim. You will notice significant wind throughout the day, which creates choppy water with noticeable waves reaching 1.8 m. Because the UV index is high at 8.7, please remember to apply plenty of sunscreen and seek shade during the midday hours to stay protected. The breezy conditions might make it feel cooler than the air temperature suggests, so keep that in mind when choosing your spot on the sand.
