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 July–September; July scores 9.7/10 with highs of 28 °C, sea at 24.5 °C and 7 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Italy in the same month.
Across the year the sea averages 18.9 °C, warmer than 51% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
November is the wettest month (90 mm) and July the driest (7 mm); the yearly total is about 540 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.3 hours in December to 15.0 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 06:02 and sets at 20:50 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces east-south-east (115°). Open water fills about 44% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
At no time of year does the sun set over the sea here: sunset bearings run from 240° to 302°, behind the land.
Sunrise is over the sea in every month.
Straight out to the east-south-east 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 23,612 km².
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 14 m deep and 41 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 11 m above sea level 500 m inland and 83 m at 1.5 km.
Within 1 km, the land is 51% grassland, 19% shrubland and 16% tree cover (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 50% of that circle.
