While the sun will shine through partial cloud cover, the powerful wind creates rough sea conditions with elevated waves, making swimming unsafe and unpleasant. Even though the sea temperature is 22.0 °C and the air will reach a peak of 26.5 °C, the intense wind makes the water feel quite cool and creates a hazardous environment for water activities.
