Long-term monthly averages: air from NASA POWER (2001–2020), sea from NOAA OISST (1991–2020); records are the extremes of 2001–2020. How the index works.
When to go
The beach-day index peaks in June–September; August scores 9.1/10 with highs of 29 °C, sea at 28.7 °C and 49 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Indonesia in the same month.
At its warmest the water here is 1.1 °C warmer than the Indonesia median for May (28.7 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 29.1 °C, warmer than 98% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
February is the wettest month (386 mm) and August the driest (49 mm); the yearly total is about 2,200 mm.
Daylight runs from 11.8 hours in June to 12.5 hours in December; in mid-August the sun rises at 06:00 and sets at 17:54 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces north (0°). Open water fills about 42% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in May–July; in mid-June it goes down at 17:45 local time on a bearing of 293°.
Sunrise is over the sea in May–July.
Straight out to the north about 1,200 km of open sea lies before the next coast, enough for large swells to build. The beach is on an island of about 128,348 km².
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 3 m deep and 8 m at 3 km, a shallow, gently shelving sea floor. Behind the beach the ground is about 4 m above sea level 500 m inland and 4 m at 1.5 km, a flat coastal plain.
Within 1 km, the land is 63% built-up land and 35% tree cover (satellite land-cover map, 2021): an urban beach. Water makes up 41% of that circle.
- Built 63%
- Tree 35%
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 386 mm in February and stays above 250 mm in January and February.
