Summary
Full Forecast

Today offers a rather mixed experience at the beach, making it an average day that is better suited for walking or lounging than for entering the water. While the sun will make appearances through partial cloud cover, the strong breezes and choppy water conditions with high waves create a turbulent environment. The maximum air temperature will reach 20.1 °C, and with the UV Index hitting 7.85, you should be diligent with sun protection even if it feels breezy. Because the water is quite cold at 15.6 °C, swimming is not recommended today. Please exercise caution near the shoreline, as the combination of active winds and significant wave heights can make the water unpredictable for those walking along the sand.
