Water Quality

Water quality classification: Excellent (2008–2013 under Directive 2006/7/CE). 88% of analysis results below guideline values. No breaches of regulatory imperative limits. 12 E. coli results between 100–1,000 CFU/100 mL (qualified as moderate). 7 intestinal enterococci results between 100–370 CFU/100 mL (qualified as moderate). No known phytoplankton blooms. Risk of Ostreopsis bloom is negligible due to open cove configuration favouring water renewal.

Risks

Three storm water outlets identified, with the most significant at the eastern end showing continuous flow during dry weather. One wastewater pumping station located in front of the rescue post with potential for discharge overflow during malfunction or heavy precipitation; risks are low due to alarm system and external outlet beyond bathing zone. Accumulation of dead posidonia leaves observed near concrete outlet. Coastal currents typically below 0.12 m/s, reaching 0.4 m/s maximum during exceptional storm swells.
