When to go
The beach-day index peaks in August; August scores 5.6/10 with highs of 21 °C, sea at 19.0 °C and 69 mm of rain.
In August that is 0.4 points below the median of the 121 beaches in Poland covered by this atlas.
Across the year the sea averages 10.1 °C, cooler than 89% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
July is the wettest month (81 mm) and April the driest (36 mm); the yearly total is about 740 mm.
Daylight runs from 7.4 hours in December to 17.2 hours in June; in mid-August the sun rises at 05:19 and sets at 20:18 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces north (10°). Open water fills about 47% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in April–August; in mid-June it goes down at 21:19 local time on a bearing of 314°.
Sunrise is over the sea in March–September.
Straight out to the north there is open water for more than 2,000 km, so the beach is exposed to long ocean swell.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 8 m deep and 14 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 0 m at 1.5 km, a flat coastal plain.
Within 1 km, the land is 82% tree cover, 9% bare ground, sand or rock and 8% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 48% of that circle.
- Tree 82%
- Bare 9%
