Conditions at Grotta di Nereo

Grotta di Nereo is open to the sea from the SE–NNW, so waves build there when the scirocco, ostro, libeccio, ponente and maestrale blow. Land shelters it from the N–E.

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

The water is 21 °C at the surface and stays warm past 23 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: 0.4 km of open waterENE: 0.4 km of open waterE: 0.3 km of open waterESE: 16.5 km of open waterSE: 28.0 km of open waterSSE: 61.2 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: open sea (over 200 km)NNW: open sea (over 200 km)NESW

Sheltered from N–E: land blocks the waves.
