With a maximum air temperature of 23.6 °C and plenty of sunshine, it feels quite comfortable, though you should keep in mind that the UV index reaches 7, so protection is essential. The sea remains quite refreshing at 16.9 °C, making it too cold for comfortable swimming. You can expect a gentle breeze throughout the day, which might create a bit of movement in the water with noticeable waves, but it will not disrupt your time on the shore. Overall, it is a lovely day to enjoy the coastal views and soak up the sun, provided you stay dry and stick to lounging by the water.
