Port de Pollença

Shelter by wind direction

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

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

Swell can come in from south to south-south-west (184°–200°).

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