Shelter by wind direction

Good shelter in north (tramontana), north-east, east and south-east (sirocco) wind.

No shelter in south, south-west, west and north-west wind.

In the most open sector, up to 30 NM of open water towards the south-west.

Swell can come in from south-south-west to north-west (204°–304°).

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