You will experience a noticeable breeze that can pick up suddenly, and with wave heights reaching 1.4 m, the water is quite rough. Please exercise caution if you are near the shoreline, as conditions are not ideal for swimming today. Furthermore, the water temperature sits at 19.9 °C, which is too cold for comfortable swimming. Enjoy the fresh coastal air and the views, but prioritize staying warm and keeping a safe distance from the active surf.
