Conditions at La Drôme 1885 / 1918

La Drôme 1885 / 1918 is open to the sea from the S–WNW, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the E–SSE.

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 Les Fromages (2.8 km, sheltered from the WSW–WNW).

The water is 18 °C at the surface and stays warm past 38 m, so a 7 mm or semi-dry suits most dives.

Shelter

Open water in each direction from the site.

Open to S–WNW. Waves and swell from there reach the site.

Sheltered from E–SSE: land blocks the waves.

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