Ringed months are the ones riders and schools name: May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep.

The model is wrong here

The modelled series peaks at 13% of days and never reaches 15% in any month, at a place that is ridden all season. The figures are drawn rather than dropped, and they are not the answer — the months riders name are.

modelled

A weather model's cell over this place, not a station on it, run over 2023-2024. Good for comparing one place with another, weaker for one beach.

What the spot record warns about

  • summer bathers
  • regulated bathing zones
  • Atlantic shorebreak/waves can vary with swell
  • Lifeguards will whistle you out of the bathing zone in summer, which cuts wave riding short
  • Swimmers spread across the water through July and August
