Conditions at Secca di Ponente
Secca di Ponente is open to the sea from the SW–E, so waves build there when the tramontana, grecale, levante, libeccio, ponente and maestrale blow. Land shelters it from the ESE–SE.
Over the next 7 days it's good or better every day. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.
The water is 21 °C at the surface and warm to about 42 m, so a 5 mm wetsuit suits most dives.
Shelter
Open to SW–E. Waves and swell from there reach the site.
Sheltered from ESE–SE: land blocks the waves.
Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.
