When to go
The beach-day index peaks in August; August scores 5.8/10 with highs of 21 °C, sea at 19.0 °C and 71 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Poland in the same month.
Across the year the sea averages 10.1 °C, cooler than 89% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
July is the wettest month (86 mm) and April the driest (36 mm); the yearly total is about 710 mm.
Daylight runs from 7.4 hours in December to 17.2 hours in June; in mid-August the sun rises at 05:20 and sets at 20:20 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces north (0°). Open water fills about 31% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in June–July; in mid-June it goes down at 21:21 local time on a bearing of 314°.
Sunrise is over the sea in June–July.
Straight out to the north about 800 km of open sea lies before the next coast, enough for large swells to build.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 7 m deep and 10 m at 3 km, a shallow, gently shelving sea floor. Behind the beach the ground is about 4 m above sea level 500 m inland and 2 m at 1.5 km, a flat coastal plain.
Within 1 km, the land is 45% built-up land, 40% tree cover and 10% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): an urban beach. Water makes up 46% of that circle.
- Built 45%
- Tree 40%
- Grass 10%
- Bare 5%
