📅 Thursday, April 23, 2026
Today is an underwhelming day for a trip to the beach, so you might want to postpone your visit. Expect a mix of clouds and occasional light showers that could dampen your plans. The air temperature will reach 18.6 °C, and with the sea temperature at 18.0 °C, the water is too cold for comfortable swimming. Winds are brisk and rather persistent, which will likely make lounging on the sand feel quite chilly. Because the UV index is 7.2, please remember that the sun remains strong even through the cloud cover, so keep your skin protected. With noticeable waves rolling in, the water will be restless and not ideal for a relaxing dip. It is best to stay cozy indoors until the weather clears up.
