Shelter by wind direction

Sheltered from every direction.

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

Here, shelter depends on tonight's wind. Seadromy reads the forecast and tells you before you leave.

Depth near the anchoring spot: about 8.4 m (EMODnet bathymetry, indicative).

Room to anchor: small (about 0.9 ha).

Approach through a channel or a harbour entrance: routes end about 1.3 NM off, then continue at reduced speed.

Calanque de Port-Miou lies in the protected area Calanques National Park: check its rules (anchoring, speed, buoys) before you arrive.

Posidonia seagrass is present: drop the anchor on sand only.

Rocky shore.
