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 (18.4 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 9.6 °C, cooler than 91% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
July is the wettest month (82 mm) and April the driest (33 mm); the yearly total is about 730 mm.
Daylight runs from 7.3 hours in December to 17.3 hours in June; in mid-August the sun rises at 05:23 and sets at 20:25 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces north-north-west (330°). Open water fills about 3% of the horizon close by, which makes it a sheltered cove or bay.
At no time of year does the sun set over the sea here: sunset bearings run from 228° to 315°, behind the land.
The opposite shore is only about 500 m away to the north-north-west, which keeps the water sheltered from big waves.
The sea floor is still within the shallow coastal margin 1 km out; 3 km offshore the depth is about 11 m. Behind the beach the ground is about 1 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, 27% grassland and 25% tree cover (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a partly built-up setting. Water makes up 3% of that circle.
- Built 38%
- Grass 27%
- Tree 25%
- Wetland 9%
