Water quality is classified as Excellent. Classification is based on routine sampling and analysis of two faecal indicator bacteria: E. coli and enterococci. Sampling occurs regularly during the bathing season. Classification is reviewed annually before the bathing season begins.

Risks

Fecal bacteria pollution sources include: a stormwater drain outlet below the parking area with low influence within the designated swimming zone; Tranmose Stream approximately 1 km southeast with risk of high fecal bacteria concentrations; drainage ditches southeast of the beach with low influence within the designated zone; Ringkøbing Central Wastewater Treatment Plant 2.5 km northwest with normal operations having no influence; two overflow structures at the harbour with potential to discharge untreated sewage during heavy rainfall; Von Å watercourse north of the harbour with large catchment area and overflow capacity. Risk of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) blooms is low. Risk of phytoplankton blooms is low. Risk of large amounts of macroalgae (seaweed) wash-up is low. Glass shards, litter, and chemical pollution including oil spills may occasionally occur. Sudden pollution from boat accidents, manure tanks, or sewer lines is possible.
