Conditions at Punta Manara

Punta Manara is open to the sea from the SE–W, so waves build there when the scirocco, ostro, libeccio and ponente blow. Land shelters it from the NNW–E.

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

The water is 20 °C at the surface and stays warm past 56 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: 0.6 km of open waterNNE: 0.4 km of open waterNE: 1.5 km of open waterENE: 2.0 km of open waterE: 2.6 km of open waterESE: 9.1 km of open waterSE: 99.9 km of open waterSSE: 175.2 km of open waterS: 137.7 km of open waterSSW: open sea (over 200 km)SW: open sea (over 200 km)WSW: 196.6 km of open waterW: 76.4 km of open waterWNW: 16.8 km of open waterNW: 9.6 km of open waterNNW: 2.3 km of open waterNESW

Sheltered from NNW–E: land blocks the waves.
