📅 Tuesday, May 19, 2026
Today is a fair day for a coastal visit, though perhaps better suited for a relaxing stroll along the sand than an extended afternoon in the water. You will find the air temperature reaching 21.5 °C, but please keep in mind that the water remains quite brisk at 19.8 °C, making it too chilly for comfortable swimming. The sky will feature a mix of sun and clouds throughout the day, and you should definitely pack your sunscreen as the UV index is hitting 6.55. You can expect a noticeable breeze coming off the water, which may create some movement in the surf. Overall, it is a pleasant day to enjoy the seaside atmosphere, provided you dress in layers to stay comfortable against the wind.
