📅 Friday, April 17, 2026
This is not an ideal day for a typical beach visit, so you might want to save your outing for another time. With the air temperature reaching a cool 12.4 °C, it is far too chilly for sunbathing or swimming. The sea remains very cold at 9.8 °C and is definitely not suitable for getting in the water. While the sky is mostly filled with thick clouds, the sun is still strong enough to reach a UV Index of 6.5, so keep that in mind if you are spending time outdoors. Additionally, the wind is quite brisk and will feel rather sharp while you are near the shore. Given the combination of low temperatures and strong breezes, the beach will likely feel quite uncomfortable today.
