You will find quite a bit of cloud cover blocking the sun throughout the day, and with a maximum air temperature of 25.2 °C, it may feel a bit cool when the breeze picks up. The wind is notably strong, which will make the beach feel quite restless. Regarding the water, the sea temperature is 19.9 °C, which is too cold for comfortable swimming. While the waves are gentle, the combination of brisk winds and lack of strong sunshine makes this more of an atmospheric day for coastal scenery than for traditional beach activities.
