While the air temperature reaches 21.3 °C, the sea remains quite refreshing at 18.9 °C, making it too chilly for a comfortable swim.

With a UV Index of 6.1, the sun is strong even through the thick cloud cover, so remember to protect your skin. Overall, it is better suited for a short walk along the shore to enjoy the fresh air rather than a full day of lounging by the water.
