Orientation, sun and shore

JunDecNESW

The shore faces north-west (325°). Open water fills about 39% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.

The sun sets over the sea in March–October; in mid-June it goes down at 21:30 local time on a bearing of 314°.

Straight out to the north-west the next coast is roughly 200 km away, so waves are mostly wind-driven sea rather than ocean swell.

About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 7 m deep and 15 m at 3 km, a shallow, gently shelving sea floor. Behind the beach the ground is about 0 m above sea level 500 m inland and 3 m at 1.5 km, a flat coastal plain.

Within 1 km, the land is 38% grassland, 29% built-up land and 21% tree cover (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a partly built-up setting. Water makes up 40% of that circle.
