When to go
The beach-day index peaks in June–September; August scores 9.1/10 with highs of 30 °C, sea at 28.6 °C and 53 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Indonesia in the same month.
At its warmest the water here is 0.9 °C warmer than the Indonesia median for May (28.7 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 29.0 °C, warmer than 96% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
February is the wettest month (315 mm) and August the driest (53 mm); the yearly total is about 2,040 mm.
Daylight runs from 11.8 hours in June to 12.4 hours in December; in mid-August the sun rises at 06:05 and sets at 18:01 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-west (220°). 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 every month; in mid-June it goes down at 17:52 local time on a bearing of 293°.
Straight out to the 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 429,774 km².
The sea floor is still within the shallow coastal margin 1 km out; 3 km offshore the depth is about 15 m. Behind the beach the ground is about 26 m above sea level 500 m inland and 203 m at 1.5 km, with hills rising behind it.
Within 1 km, the land is 49% tree cover, 37% built-up land and 11% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a partly built-up setting. Water makes up 42% of that circle.
