TL;DR
There's no official statistics on beach closures, but during summer (especially August) resorts often shut swimming access due to wind and waves — check current conditions with your hotel before booking. For quick beach access, request a room in the last building closest to the shore.
What the community said
No one tracks exact statistics on how often the beach gets closed (e.g. how many times last August) — this info can only be obtained directly from the hotel or from recently returned travelers.

For easier, closer beach access, ask for a room in the resort's farthest building near the shore — those rooms have the best location relative to the sea.

Sea closures due to waves and wind are common during summer, especially in August, so it's worth checking with the hotel beforehand how often this has happened recently.
