Ventimiglia Marina

Shelter by wind direction

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

No shelter in south, south-west and 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 west-south-west (196°–256°).

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