Shelter by wind direction

Good shelter in north, north-east (bora), south-west, west and north-west wind.

Partial shelter in east, south-east (jugo) and south wind.

In the most open sector, up to 1.7 NM of open water towards the south-east.

Swell can come in from south-east to south-east (128°–140°).

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