The air temperature will peak at 14.8 °C, which is quite chilly for being outdoors near the water. The sea is also very cold at 13.2 °C and should be avoided for swimming. You will likely find it quite unpleasant as the wind is rather strong, and the choppy waves are creating rough conditions along the shore. With a UV Index of 6.05, there is still some sun exposure despite the clouds, but the overall cool, wet, and breezy environment makes this a poor day for relaxing on the sand.
