Today is a fair day for a coastal visit, though perhaps better suited for a brisk walk along the shore than a relaxing sunbathing session. While the skies remain mostly clear, the air temperature reaching 19.4 °C is quite refreshing rather than hot. You will notice a persistent breeze throughout the day, which may create choppy conditions on the water with waves reaching 0.8 m. Please be mindful that the sun is quite strong, with a UV Index of 7.25, so adequate skin protection is essential. The sea temperature is 18.0 °C, which is currently too chilly for a comfortable swim. Overall, it is a pleasant day to enjoy the seaside atmosphere, provided you are prepared for the wind and stick to staying dry on the sand.
