Water clarity
Month-by-month turbidity of the coastal water, from satellite measurements.
Today (estimate)
Slightly coloured · visibility ≈ 5 m
Seasonal normal (November): Slightly coloured — Seasonal normal today.
- 55 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.
Confidence: High
