Season

15 May to 30 September (official monitoring and management season for summer 2024).

Water Quality

Water quality classification maintained as 'Excellent' based on ARS sampling conducted during the 2023 summer season. The vulnerability index of the beach is assessed as 'Medium' according to multicriteria analysis, primarily due to potential impact from the Oïde canal during rainfall. Risk of cyanobacteria, macroalgae, and phytoplankton proliferation is considered low with no confirmed nitrogen or phosphorus inputs and no history of algal blooms.

Risks

Wastewater treatment plant effluent from Cap Sicié discharges 50,000 cubic metres per day in surface releases with potential impacts during southwest winds. Potential pollution risks from pump station overflow, rainwater canal discharges, mooring zone contamination, and the Oïde canal during rainfall. Risk levels for dry weather are classified as low for all identified sources, with increased risk during rainfall events.
