Conditions at La Virgule

La Virgule is open to the sea from the SSW–WSW, NW–ENE, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the ESE–S.

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

The water is 26 °C at the surface and stays warm past 56 m, so a 3 mm wetsuit suits most dives.

Shelter

Open to SSW–WSW, NW–ENE. Waves and swell from there reach the site.

Sheltered from ESE–S: land blocks the waves.

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