In the winter months, from December to February, the sea temperature in this region ranges from about 3°C to 5°C (37°F to 41°F).

By May, the sea temperature rises to between 8°C and 12°C (46°F to 54°F), signaling the beginning of a more favorable time for outdoor coastal exploration, though the water is still chilly for casual swimming.
