Conditions at Isolotto e Anfore

Isolotto e Anfore is open to the sea from the ENE–S, so waves build there when the levante, scirocco and ostro 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 22 °C at the surface and warm to about 20 m, so a 5 mm wetsuit 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: 0.3 km of open waterNNE: 0.3 km of open waterNE: 0.3 km of open waterENE: 34.6 km of open waterE: open sea (over 200 km)ESE: open sea (over 200 km)SE: open sea (over 200 km)SSE: open sea (over 200 km)S: 87.4 km of open waterSSW: 0.5 km of open waterSW: 0.3 km of open waterWSW: 0.2 km of open waterW: 0.2 km of open waterWNW: 0.2 km of open waterNW: 0.2 km of open waterNNW: 0.3 km of open waterNESW
