Winter: mild afternoons, cool nights and chilly water
December averages 15°C by day, dropping to 14°C in January and February, so winter suits travellers happy to swap swimming for walks and relaxed outdoor time between showers. Nights are cool, especially February at 9°C, making a proper outer layer more useful than beachwear. January and February seas average 14°C: too chilly for comfortable swimming for most people. With December and January averaging 8 rain days, pack a waterproof and keep outdoor plans flexible. There is still some sunshine, but this is not the season to choose if reliable warmth is your main reason for travelling.
Spring into June: warmer days before the strongest heat
March reaches 16°C by day, enough for comfortable walking with a layer, but the sea remains cold. April edges up to 18°C, while its 7 rain days mean a waterproof still earns its place in your bag. May brings a clearer shift towards warm-weather travel: days average 22°C and nights 16°C, although the sea at 18°C may feel brisk. Choose May if being outdoors matters more than lingering in the water. June is the better compromise for swimming and warmth, with 26°C afternoons, a 22°C sea and just 4 rain days. Plan more active outings away from midday and carry sun protection.
Summer and autumn: hot days, then warm seas with more rain
July and August both average 29°C by day, so they suit travellers who want heat and plenty of time in the water. July has the fewest rain days at 2; August brings the warmest sea at 26°C, but nights averaging 24°C can make sleeping conditions a consideration when choosing accommodation. Keep strenuous activity away from midday. September eases to 26°C by day with a 25°C sea, making it appealing for swimming, though its 8 rain days are a clear trade-off. October still offers 22°C days and sea temperatures, but averages 9 rain days, so leave room for changing plans. November cools to 18°C by day, with a 19°C sea and less sunshine: better for flexible outdoor time than a swimming-led holiday.
