The sea temperature is 19.2 °C, which is quite chilly, so swimming is not recommended today. You will encounter a noticeable breeze throughout the day, which might feel strong at times along the shoreline. If you head out, enjoy the fresh air and the dynamic ocean views, but please exercise caution near the water's edge due to the active surf and avoid going in for a dip.
