Once the mist lifts, you can expect a very hot afternoon with a Max Air Temperature of 36.5 °C, so stay hydrated and seek shade during the peak heat. The sea is exceptionally warm at 28.7 °C, making it perfect for a comfortable swim, while the water remains calm with gentle movement.

With very little breeze, it will be a still and sweltering day, so prepare for high temperatures while relaxing on the sand.
