While the sky remains clear and sunny, the conditions are quite restless, making it difficult to enjoy lounging on the sand. The air temperature reaches 36 °C, and the sea temperature is a very pleasant 28.0 °C, but strong winds and lively waves mean that swimming should be approached with caution, especially if you are not a confident swimmer.
