Summary
Full Forecast

Today offers an average beach experience at Juncal, ideal for those who prefer relaxing on the shore over taking a dip. While the air temperature will reach 21.7 °C, the sea remains quite refreshing at 19.4 °C, so swimming may be a bit chilly for most. You can expect a mix of sun and clouds throughout the day, but be mindful of the strong UV Index of 8.45, which requires solid sun protection. The beach will feel quite breezy, with wind and noticeable waves keeping the water active. It is a pleasant day for a coastal walk or lounging with a book, but the combination of choppy water and brisk winds makes it less than perfect for a traditional swim.
