~9 km model grid; nearest model water 6 km away, so channels and bays may differ. Daily averages; the thermocline can move several metres day to day.

Conditions at le Franjack

le Franjack is open to the sea from the S–NNW, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better every day. Wed, Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water is 30 °C at the surface and stays warm past 56 m, so a rash guard or 1–2 mm suits most dives.

Shelter

Open water in each direction from the site. Longer petals mean more open sea, so more exposure to wind waves and swell from that direction.N: 1.1 km of open waterNNE: 1.0 km of open waterNE: 0.9 km of open waterENE: 0.6 km of open waterE: 0.6 km of open waterESE: 0.7 km of open waterSE: 0.8 km of open waterSSE: 1.8 km of open waterS: open sea (over 200 km)SSW: open sea (over 200 km)SW: open sea (over 200 km)WSW: open sea (over 200 km)W: open sea (over 200 km)WNW: open sea (over 200 km)NW: open sea (over 200 km)NNW: open sea (over 200 km)NESW

Sheltered from N–SSE: land blocks the waves.
