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 November–April; February scores 9.3/10 with highs of 29 °C, sea at 27.3 °C and 1 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Mexico in the same month.
At its warmest the water here is 0.6 °C warmer than the Mexico median for July (29.4 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 28.7 °C, warmer than 94% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
June is the wettest month (243 mm) and February the driest (1 mm); the yearly total is about 940 mm.
Daylight runs from 11.2 hours in December to 13.1 hours in June; in mid-February the sun rises at 06:50 and sets at 18:27 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-east (125°). Open water fills about 56% of the horizon close by, which makes it an exposed spot with water on most sides.
At no time of year does the sun set over the sea here: sunset bearings run from 246° to 295°, behind the land.
Sunrise is over the sea in every month.
The opposite shore is only about 500 m away to the south-east, which keeps the water sheltered from big waves.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 15 m deep and 52 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 63 m above sea level 500 m inland and 52 m at 1.5 km, so the beach is backed by steep slopes or cliffs.
Within 1 km, the land is 75% tree cover, 8% bare ground, sand or rock and 7% shrubland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 50% of that circle.
- Tree 75%
- Bare 8%
- Shrub 7%
- Built 6%
- 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.
Average wind speed at 10 m reaches 7.8 m/s in January, the windiest month.
OpenStreetMap shows no lifeguard station within 1 km. Seasonal lifeguard posts are often unmapped, so check on site.
