The air temperature will reach 17.8 °C, which feels quite cool, and the water temperature is 18.1 °C, making it far too cold for swimming. You should also be mindful of the sun, as the UV Index is 7.6, meaning you can still burn even through the clouds. While the breeze is moderate and the waves are relatively gentle, the combination of damp weather and chilly water makes this a day to skip the beach entirely.
