Winter and spring: layers first, lighter clothing by May

December, January and February are poor choices if sunshine and swimming are the main aim. January days average 12°C, while nights in January and February average 9°C, so bring warm layers and a waterproof jacket. December has 14 rainy days, making flexible outdoor plans sensible. March offers a modest improvement, with 14°C afternoons and more sunshine, but rain remains frequent. April feels milder at 17°C, although the sea is still a chilly 16°C. May is the more useful turning point for a holiday outdoors: days reach 20°C, sunshine increases and rain becomes less frequent. It suits travellers who dislike summer heat, though the 19°C sea may still feel cool. Keep a light layer handy for evenings rather than packing only summer clothes.

Summer: the clearest choice for sunshine and swimming

June brings a useful balance of warmth and relatively little rain, with 24°C days, a 22°C sea and 4 rainy days on average. It suits travellers who want summer weather without choosing the hottest month. July is the driest option by rainy-day frequency, with 2 rainy days and 13 hours of sunshine, so shade and sun protection deserve space in your plans. August is warmer, averaging 28°C by day and 24°C at night, with the sea at 25°C. Choose it if warm water matters most, but do not expect much cooling after sunset. Across summer, keep more active outings away from midday if you find heat tiring.

Autumn: warm water lingers as rain returns

September is a good alternative to summer if you value warm swimming water more than the lowest chance of rain. Both the daytime and sea averages are 24°C, but 8 rainy days mean outdoor plans need more flexibility than in June. October remains mild, with 21°C afternoons and a 22°C sea, so a swim can still appeal even as sunshine becomes less generous. Bring a rain layer rather than relying on dry weather throughout your stay. November is a clearer shift away from a beach-focused holiday: days average 17°C, sunshine falls to 4 hours and there are 13 rainy days. It suits travellers comfortable fitting outdoor time around wet spells.
