Conditions at LST 349

LST 349 is open to the sea from the SW–WSW, WNW–ENE, so waves build there when the tramontana, grecale, libeccio and maestrale blow. Land shelters it from the E–SSW.

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

The water is 20 °C at the surface and warm to about 31 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: 46.9 km of open waterNNE: 40.2 km of open waterNE: 53.3 km of open waterENE: 76.4 km of open waterE: 0.5 km of open waterESE: 0.7 km of open waterSE: 0.8 km of open waterSSE: 0.8 km of open waterS: 1.0 km of open waterSSW: 1.1 km of open waterSW: open sea (over 200 km)WSW: open sea (over 200 km)W: 8.8 km of open waterWNW: open sea (over 200 km)NW: open sea (over 200 km)NNW: 63.0 km of open waterNESW
