Mild afternoons, with layers for later

The daytime average of 17.3°C is comfortable for walking without summer heat, but it is not a promise of shirtsleeves all day. Even the warmer days tend towards mild rather than hot: the warmest 10% reach 20.2°C or more. A light jumper and a waterproof jacket are more useful than packing mainly for the beach. Average night-time lows are 14.7°C, so keep a layer handy for evenings outside. Colder nights can fall to 11.5°C or below, making an extra warm layer sensible if you feel the cold. This is a reasonable choice for travellers who prefer being active in cooler weather rather than sitting still in the sun.

Keep outdoor plans flexible

Rain is the main catch. With about 10 rainy days, November calls for plans you can rearrange rather than a fixed schedule of outdoor days. That does not mean constant rain, but waterproof outerwear and shoes that cope with wet ground make sense. Sunshine averages about 4.5 hours within 9.7 hours of daylight, so put outdoor time into the brighter parts of the day when possible. The sea averages 19°C, with a year-to-year range of 18°C to 20°C: bracing rather than comfortably warm. A dip may appeal if you already enjoy cooler water, but do not make long, relaxed swims the centre of the trip. July, August and September are stronger choices on the overall weather assessment.
