When to go
The beach-day index peaks in July–September; August scores 9.2/10 with highs of 26 °C, sea at 25.6 °C and 36 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Indonesia in the same month.
Across the year the sea averages 27.7 °C, warmer than 88% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
January is the wettest month (340 mm) and August the driest (36 mm); the yearly total is about 2,330 mm.
Daylight runs from 11.7 hours in June to 12.6 hours in December; in mid-August the sun rises at 05:51 and sets at 17:42 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-south-west (205°). Open water fills about 50% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in every month; in mid-June it goes down at 17:32 local time on a bearing of 293°.
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 127,452 km².
The sea floor is still within the shallow coastal margin 1 km out; 3 km offshore the depth is about 25 m. Behind the beach the ground is about 97 m above sea level 500 m inland and 155 m at 1.5 km, so the beach is backed by steep slopes or cliffs.
Within 1 km, the land is 93% tree cover and 4% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 53% of that circle.
- Tree 93%
- Grass 4%
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 340 mm in January and stays above 250 mm in January, February, November and December.
