With a moderate wind of 12 km/h from the east, it's a great day for cyclists and runners to get out and enjoy the scenic coastal routes, and surfers will appreciate the gentle breeze. However, with a UV index forecast peak of 8.1, which is very high, it's essential to take sun protection seriously and avoid direct sun between 11am and 3pm. Don't forget to pack your sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses to ensure you stay safe and comfortable throughout the day, whether you're surfing, snorkeling, or simply soaking up the sun.
As we move into the afternoon and evening, the IPMA forecast suggests that the partly cloudy skies will continue, with no rain expected and a gentle breeze. It's shaping up to be a fantastic day to get out and enjoy all that our beautiful coast has to offer, from fishing and diving to simply relaxing on the beach and covering yourself in the therapeutic clay from the cliffs.
