Conditions at Grotta Azzurra di Palinuro

Grotta Azzurra di Palinuro is open to the sea from the S–NW, so waves build there when the ostro, libeccio, ponente and maestrale blow. Land shelters it from the NE–SSE.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better on Sun and Tue and a no-go on Sat (surge). Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water is 21 °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: 5.0 km of open waterNNE: 3.1 km of open waterNE: 2.0 km of open waterENE: 1.7 km of open waterE: 1.3 km of open waterESE: 0.4 km of open waterSE: 0.3 km of open waterSSE: 0.3 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: 22.3 km of open waterNNW: 8.3 km of open waterNESW

Sheltered from NE–SSE: land blocks the waves.
