Divers, on the other hand, have a respectable score of 6.6/10. The water temperature is a bit warmer than usual, with a sea surface temperature anomaly of +3.1°C, which might affect visibility underwater. Comparing to recent days, surfing continues to improve, reaching a peak today compared to the past week. The absence of rain and clear visibility of 12.2 km contribute to a pleasant day out, despite the high humidity. Looking ahead, the weather remains relatively stable over the next few days, with a slight increase in wind and wave activity by September 2nd. For those planning their best bet on the water, aim for the early afternoon when conditions align favorably with solunar activity and the full moon's influence.
