Conditions at Nave Equa

Nave Equa is open to the sea from the ESE–WNW, so waves build there when the scirocco, ostro, libeccio and ponente blow. Land shelters it from the NNE–NE.

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

The water is 20 °C at the surface and stays warm past 38 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: 3.4 km of open waterNNE: 2.8 km of open waterNE: 2.9 km of open waterENE: 3.4 km of open waterE: 5.5 km of open waterESE: 38.7 km of open waterSE: 59.7 km of open waterSSE: open sea (over 200 km)S: open sea (over 200 km)SSW: 170.0 km of open waterSW: open sea (over 200 km)WSW: open sea (over 200 km)W: 122.2 km of open waterWNW: 95.3 km of open waterNW: 12.6 km of open waterNNW: 7.0 km of open waterNESW

Open to ESE–WNW. Waves and swell from there reach the site.

Sheltered from NNE–NE: land blocks the waves.

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