The wind is quite strong, making it feel restless and potentially blowing your belongings around. With the sun appearing only occasionally behind a veil of clouds, the peak UV index of 7.6 means you must be diligent with sun protection despite the lack of constant direct sunshine.

Overall, with the air temperature reaching 26 °C and unstable conditions, it is best to choose a different day for your seaside relaxation.
