Water clarity
Month-by-month turbidity of the coastal water, from satellite measurements.
Today (estimate)
Slightly coloured · visibility ≈ 4.7 m
Seasonal normal (November): Slightly coloured — Murkier than normal today.
- 56 mm of rain in the last 7 days; stream water may have clouded the sea.
- A strong current is lifting sediment off the bottom.
In the surf zone (first 1–2 m) the water may be murkier than shown.
Flood water from streams and rivers can increase turbidity.
Confidence: High

Satellite measurement; missing months from neighbouring months. The satellite sees about 200 m offshore; the surf zone within casting distance is usually murkier. Today’s estimate is adjusted for weather and sea when the spot forecast is opened; it is not certain.
