Summary
Full Forecast

Today is a poor day for a beach visit, and it is best to avoid the shore entirely due to the threat of thunderstorms. The weather is unstable and unpredictable, making outdoor activities unsafe. You should stay indoors and wait for clearer skies, as the risk of rain is high. The water is quite chilly, so it is definitely not suitable for swimming. Furthermore, the wind is strong enough to make lounging on the sand uncomfortable, and the waves are rather choppy. While the sun may peek through the clouds at times, the overall conditions are hazardous. Please prioritize your safety and plan your beach trip for another time when the weather is calm and the skies are clear.
