Water

Kattegat coastal water. The beach stretches from Dråby Camping to the Boeslum summer house area. Water depth reaches 2 metres at a distance of 50–150 metres from shore.

Season

Official monitoring season runs from 1 May to 15 September. Water temperature during this period varies between 10 °C and 22 °C.

Water Quality

Water quality is classified as 'Excellent'. Monitoring data shows stable conditions with low bacterial levels. Possible short-term pollution sources include faecal contamination, algae (blue-green algae, other microscopic algae, and seaweed), and other causes (oil spills from ships and pollen accumulation). Risk of faecal pollution from wastewater is low. Risk of blue-green algae mass occurrence is very low due to high salinity. Risk of harmful chemical pollution from ships is low.

Risks

Strong southward currents can frequently occur. Blue-green algae, other microscopic algae, and seaweed accumulation are possible but assessed as low risk. Chemical pollution from ship incidents poses a low risk. Pollen accumulation is a recurring phenomenon that can reduce water quality. Dogs must be kept on leads from 1 April to 30 September.
