Summary
Full Forecast

Today is a challenging day for a beach visit, and it is best to skip the trip to the shore. You will likely encounter light rain throughout the day, which makes lounging on the sand quite unpleasant. The breeze is strong enough to feel restless, and the choppy waves will make entering the water difficult. With a maximum air temperature of 20.1 °C and a sea temperature of 19.3 °C, it is far too chilly for swimming. Additionally, the sun remains quite intense with a UV Index of 7.7, so if you do step outside, ensure you have plenty of protection from the rays. Overall, the combination of light rain and cool water makes this a poor day for typical beach activities.
