Conditions at Secca del Frate – Palmaiola
Secca del Frate – Palmaiola is open to the sea from the ENE–SSE, WNW–N, so waves build there when the tramontana, levante, scirocco and maestrale blow. Land shelters it from the S.
Over the next 7 days it's good or better every day. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.
When it's rough here, try Scoglio di Remaiolo (19 km, sheltered from the ENE–E, WNW–N).
The water is 20 °C at the surface and stays warm past 42 m, so a 7 mm or semi-dry suits most dives.
Shelter
Open to ENE–SSE, WNW–N. Waves and swell from there reach the site.
Sheltered from S: land blocks the waves.
Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.
