When to go
The beach-day index peaks in August; August scores 5.5/10 with highs of 21 °C, sea at 18.7 °C and 90 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Netherlands in the same month.
Across the year the sea averages 11.7 °C, cooler than 85% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
August is the wettest month (90 mm) and April the driest (40 mm); the yearly total is about 830 mm.
Daylight runs from 7.7 hours in December to 16.8 hours in June; in mid-August the sun rises at 06:23 and sets at 21:09 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces west-north-west (295°). 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 22:04 local time on a bearing of 312°.
Straight out to the west-north-west about 300 km of open sea lies before the next coast, enough for large swells to build.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 3 m deep and 15 m at 3 km, a shallow, gently shelving sea floor. Behind the beach the ground is about 11 m above sea level 500 m inland and 13 m at 1.5 km, a flat coastal plain.
Within 1 km, the land is 80% grassland, 11% bare ground, sand or rock and 5% tree cover (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 46% of that circle.
