You will encounter moderate winds that stir up the water, leading to rough surf with significant wave heights, so please be cautious if you intend to enter the water. The sky will remain partially cloudy, but the sun remains intense with a UV Index of 6.6, meaning you should definitely apply sunscreen even if it feels cooler. If you do head out, keep an eye on the changing sky, as the intermittent rain could make lounging on the sand less comfortable than usual.
