Warm enough for swimming, without dependable heat
Average daytime highs of 22.3°C make light clothing a sensible starting point, but October is not consistently hot. Only 18% of days reach 25°C, so choose it for comfortable warmth rather than a holiday built around high temperatures. The sea averages 22.4°C, warm enough for swimming, though its year-to-year range of 21°C to 23°C means it can feel fresher in some years. A dry layer for after a swim is useful. Evenings are mild on average, with night lows of 17.5°C, but the coldest nights can fall to 14.5°C or below. Pack a jumper or light jacket rather than relying entirely on summer clothes.
Leave room for rain and changing plans
Rain is the main compromise. About 9 days receive measurable rain, making a waterproof jacket and plans you can rearrange more useful than a rigid beach schedule. That figure does not mean every rainy day is a complete washout, but it is enough to take seriously when deciding if October suits you. Sunshine averages about 5.3 hours within 10.9 hours of daylight, so daylight should not be confused with uninterrupted sun. Keep swimming and other outdoor time flexible around the forecast, and have something indoors in mind for wetter spells. If dependable dry weather matters more than avoiding strong heat, October is a less convincing choice.
