Depth and slope values are derived from the EMODnet raster model; they are not sonar or field measurements.

Water clarity

Month-by-month turbidity of the coastal water, from satellite measurements.

Today (estimate)

Clear · visibility ≈ 10.9 m

Seasonal normal (November): Clear — Seasonal normal today.

  • A strong current is lifting sediment off the bottom.
  • 36 mm of rain in the last 7 days; stream water may have clouded the sea.

In the surf zone (first 1–2 m) the water may be murkier than shown.

Flood water from streams and rivers can increase turbidity.
