Conditions at La Pointe de la Galère

La Pointe de la Galère is open to the sea from the NE, WNW, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the E–WSW.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better on Sun, Mon, Tue and Wed. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

When it's rough here, try Le sec de la Gabinière (3.4 km, sheltered from the NE, WNW) or La Pointe du Vaisseau (2.9 km, sheltered from the WNW).

The water is 19 °C at the surface and warm to about 51 m, so a 7 mm or semi-dry suits most dives.

Shelter

Open to NE, WNW. Waves and swell from there reach the site.

Sheltered from E–WSW: land blocks the waves.

Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.
