Conditions at Punta Meliso

Punta Meliso is open to the sea from the NE–WSW, so waves build there when the grecale, levante, scirocco, ostro and libeccio blow.

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

The water is 19 °C at the surface and warm to about 35 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: 0.5 km of open waterNNE: 0.8 km of open waterNE: 109.6 km of open waterENE: 111.2 km of open waterE: 111.6 km of open waterESE: 163.1 km of open waterSE: open sea (over 200 km)SSE: open sea (over 200 km)S: open sea (over 200 km)SSW: open sea (over 200 km)SW: open sea (over 200 km)WSW: 113.1 km of open waterW: 1.9 km of open waterWNW: 0.8 km of open waterNW: 0.6 km of open waterNNW: 0.6 km of open waterNESW
