## Conditions at Punta Negra

Punta Negra is open to the sea from the **WSW–NNW**, so waves build there when the ponente and maestrale blow. Land shelters it from the N–SSE.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better on Sun, Mon, Tue and Wed. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

When it's rough here, try [Tonnara del Secco](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/italy/sicily/san-vito-lo-capo/tonnara-del-secco) (4.1 km, sheltered from the WSW–NNW).

The water is warm to about 40 m.
