📅 Monday, July 27, 2026
Today offers a very mixed experience at the beach, making it a better day for coastal walks than for sunbathing or swimming. You can expect a mix of sun and clouds throughout the day, so keep an eye on the sky. The air temperature will reach 20.3 °C, but with a stiff breeze coming off the water, it will feel quite fresh. Waves are running rather high today, which could make the water feel a bit choppy and unsettled. Given that the sea temperature is 18.8 °C, it is definitely too cold for a comfortable swim. If you decide to head down to the sand, please stay alert for a high UV Index of 6.95, as the sun remains quite strong even through the clouds.
