When to go
No waves and no water temperature are modelled in fresh water. What we do know here — wind, storms, UV, rain — is below, and it holds.

Forecasts come from ~8 km resolution models: very local effects (a sheltering pier, a lagoon pass) are not captured.
The sea state is read as close to the beach as the model allows, without our having verified that this water is the water at the shore (indented coast, ria, head of a bay). Take it as an order of magnitude: what comes in from open sea may not reach this far.
Wave heights are significant heights: individual waves up to 2× this height still occur.
Tide times derived from modelled sea level (± a few tens of minutes) — not official tide tables.
Missing data is shown as missing — never silently estimated.

Water quality · Excellent · 2025 season
Computed from the samples of the last four bathing seasons. It says what the water here has been, not what it is today: after heavy rain, even an excellent beach degrades for a day or two.
