While the air temperature reaches 21.9 °C, the breeze is mostly gentle, though you might experience occasional sudden shifts in the wind. The sea remains quite chilly at 18.5 °C, making it too cold for comfortable swimming. With calm water conditions and very little wave activity, it is a peaceful spot for a stroll along the shore, but do not plan on spending the day in the water.
