📅 Monday, June 8, 2026
It is a mediocre day for a visit to Playa Nigran, where the conditions are better suited for a walk along the shore than a relaxing session on the sand. The air reaches a maximum temperature of 20.2 °C, but with quite significant waves crashing against the coast, the water remains very rough. Furthermore, with a sea temperature of 15.2 °C, it is far too cold for swimming.

Overall, it is a day to enjoy the coastal breeze and view rather than a typical beach outing.
