Winter: mild afternoons, cool evenings

December, January and February suit travellers who prefer mild days outdoors to heat and swimming. December averages 15°C by day, dropping to 14°C in January and February, so a sunny afternoon can be pleasant without feeling like summer. Evenings need warmer layers, especially in February when nights average 9°C. Pack a jacket and something waterproof: rain is a regular possibility throughout winter, though it need not shape every day. The sea is cold rather than inviting for a leisurely swim. Keep plans flexible and make the most of brighter spells, rather than relying on long days on the sand.

Spring: warming days, but the sea lags behind

March brings daytime averages of 16°C, making layers useful when moving between sunshine and cooler parts of the day. April reaches 18°C, but it is not reliably dry beach weather: it averages 7 rainy days, so a light waterproof still earns its place. May is the stronger choice if you want warmth without summer heat, with afternoons averaging 22°C and more sunshine than earlier in spring. The catch is the water. Even in May, the sea averages 18°C, which can feel chilly for lingering swims. Pack light clothes for warmer afternoons alongside an evening layer, and treat swimming as an option rather than the centre of the trip.

Summer and autumn: choose between dry weather and warm water

June balances warm days at 26°C with a sea temperature of 22°C, making it a good choice before the hottest weather. July is the clearest pick for dry beach days, averaging just 1 rainy day; plan shade breaks around midday. August remains hot and has the warmest sea at 26°C, with warm nights that favour light clothing. September still feels summery, with water at 25°C, but its 8 rainy days make flexible plans sensible. October is a compromise: both air and sea average 22°C, yet it is the wettest month, so avoid counting on uninterrupted beach weather. By November, daytime warmth eases to 18°C and sunshine is more limited. It suits time outdoors with layers better than a holiday built around swimming.
