Conditions at Secca della Vervece

Secca della Vervece is open to the sea from the SSW, WSW–N, so waves build there when the tramontana, ponente and maestrale blow. Land shelters it from the ENE–SSE.

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

When it's rough here, try Faraglioni (11 km, sheltered from the W–N).

The water is 20 °C at the surface and warm to about 40 m, so a 7 mm or semi-dry 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: 22.2 km of open waterNNE: 16.8 km of open waterNE: 17.3 km of open waterENE: 1.4 km of open waterE: 1.5 km of open waterESE: 1.3 km of open waterSE: 1.4 km of open waterSSE: 1.4 km of open waterS: 3.1 km of open waterSSW: open sea (over 200 km)SW: 10.0 km of open waterWSW: open sea (over 200 km)W: open sea (over 200 km)WNW: 34.0 km of open waterNW: 29.5 km of open waterNNW: 24.4 km of open waterNESW

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

Sheltered from ENE–SSE: land blocks the waves.
