Shelter by wind direction

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

Partial shelter in north (tramontana) and west wind.

No shelter in north-west wind.

In the most open sector, up to 6.7 NM of open water towards the north-west.

Swell can come in from north-west to north-north-west (308°–332°).
