You should plan your activities for indoors, as persistent rain is expected throughout the day, making the sand quite soggy and unpleasant for relaxing. With the sky heavily blanketed in thick clouds, there will be no sunshine to enjoy. The ocean is also looking quite rough today with significant wave action, which makes conditions unsafe for swimming.

Please prioritize your safety and avoid entering the water while these conditions persist.
