You will also notice a persistent breeze that can become quite brisk at times, making it feel cooler while lounging on the sand. The waves are moderately choppy, which might be better for watching the sea than getting into it. If you do head out, remember that the sun is still strong with a UV Index of 6.7, so make sure to protect your skin despite the cloudy appearance. Overall, it is a day better suited for a coastal walk rather than a traditional beach day.
