Bali Marina

Shelter by wind direction

Good shelter in south, south-west, west and north-west wind.

Partial shelter in south-east (sirocco) wind.

No shelter in north (meltemi), north-east and east wind.

In the most open sector, up to 30 NM of open water towards the north-east.

Swell can come in from north-north-east to east (20°–84°).

Shelter is estimated from open water and swell, not from wind strength: a strong wind can still gust over the land.
