Shelter by wind direction

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

Partial shelter in north-east and south-west wind.

In the most open sector, up to 30 NM of open water towards the south-east.

Swell can come in from east to south-south-west (96°–196°).

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