When to go
The beach-day index peaks in December–January; January scores 9.7/10 with highs of 31 °C, sea at 23.1 °C and 1 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in India in the same month.
At its warmest the water here is 0.4 °C warmer than the India median for June (29.2 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 27.1 °C, warmer than 82% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
July is the wettest month (461 mm) and January the driest (1 mm); the yearly total is about 1,380 mm.
Daylight runs from 10.9 hours in December to 13.4 hours in June; in mid-January the sun rises at 07:18 and sets at 18:17 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-south-west (200°). Open water fills about 25% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in December; in mid-December it goes down at 18:00 local time on a bearing of 245°.
The opposite shore is only about 500 m away to the south-south-west, which keeps the water sheltered from big waves.
The sea floor is still within the shallow coastal margin 1 km out; 3 km offshore the depth is about 5 m. Behind the beach the ground is about 10 m above sea level 500 m inland and 5 m at 1.5 km, a flat coastal plain.
Within 1 km, the land is 63% tree cover, 15% cropland and 12% built-up land (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a mixed, lightly developed setting. Water makes up 9% of that circle.
- Tree 63%
- Crop 15%
- Built 12%
- Grass 5%
- Bare 5%
Land cover: ESA WorldCover 2021 (10 m). Orientation from OpenStreetMap land polygons sampled in 36 directions; depths and heights from the GEBCO 2020 grid (about 450 m cells), indicative only.
Rainfall reaches 461 mm in July and stays above 250 mm in June, July and August.
Average daytime highs reach 41 °C in April.
