This is an official forecast for the stated period, not an observation taken at the beach.

Environmental estimate

Conditions less favourable for jellyfish arrival

Forecast wind and the regional coastline orientation are less favourable for jellyfish transport towards the shore. This is a limited-confidence regional physical indicator; it does not confirm the presence or absence of jellyfish at this beach.

Characteristics published by official sources

Playa de La Concha occupies the lower part of the town of Suances as an urban beach 1,000 metres long and 60 metres wide, with golden sand and a seafront promenade. Its scale, high occupancy and moderate waves and wind explain the open and busy character of the place. The entry also indicates that part of the frontage is accompanied by a seafront promenade while another part has a dirt path, beside a fenced dune area. It is easy to reach on foot or by car via the CA-132, with more than 100 parking spaces. There is food, a sports area and nautical hire.
