When to go
No month reaches 5.5 on the beach-day index; the best is August at 4.8/10, held back mainly by cool air (highs of 20 °C) and cold water (18.8 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 9.9 °C, cooler than 90% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
July is the wettest month (79 mm) and April the driest (32 mm); the yearly total is about 720 mm.
Daylight runs from 7.3 hours in December to 17.3 hours in June; in mid-August the sun rises at 05:19 and sets at 20:21 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces north-east (45°). Open water fills about 58% of the horizon close by, which makes it an exposed spot with water on most sides.
The sun sets over the sea in November–January; in mid-December it goes down at 15:18 local time on a bearing of 229°.
Sunrise is over the sea in March–October.
Straight out to the north-east 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 6 m deep and 21 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 0 m at 1.5 km, a flat coastal plain.
Within 1 km, the land is 38% built-up land, 30% tree cover and 23% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a partly built-up setting. Water makes up 43% of that circle.
- Built 38%
- Tree 30%
- Grass 23%
