When to go
The beach-day index peaks in January–April; February scores 9.5/10 with highs of 29 °C, sea at 27.9 °C and 10 mm of rain.
In February that is 0.4 points above the median of the 107 beaches in India covered by this atlas.
At its warmest the water here is 0.5 °C warmer than the India median for April (29.4 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 28.7 °C, warmer than 94% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
July is the wettest month (435 mm) and February the driest (10 mm); the yearly total is about 2,720 mm.
Daylight runs from 11.4 hours in December to 12.8 hours in June; in mid-February the sun rises at 05:40 and sets at 17:24 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-south-west (195°). Open water fills about 44% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in September–March; in mid-December it goes down at 16:56 local time on a bearing of 246°.
Straight out to the south-south-west there is open water for more than 2,000 km, so the beach is exposed to long ocean swell. The beach is on an island of about 93 km².
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 26 m deep and 52 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 37 m above sea level 500 m inland and 73 m at 1.5 km.
Within 1 km, the land is 95% tree cover and 3% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 64% of that circle.
- Tree 95%
- Grass 3%
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 435 mm in July and stays above 250 mm in May, June, July, August and September.
Average wind speed at 10 m reaches 7.1 m/s in June, the windiest month.
