Conditions at Blue Hole

Blue Hole is open to the sea from the SSW–NNW, so waves build there when the lbiċ, punent and majjistral blow.

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 Santa Maria Caves (14 km, sheltered from the SSW–NNW), Mġarr ix-Xini (8.5 km, sheltered from the WSW–NNW) or Ħondoq ir-Rummien (12 km, sheltered from the WSW–NNW).

The water is 22 °C at the surface and warm to about 41 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: 1.3 km of open waterNNE: 1.0 km of open waterNE: 0.7 km of open waterENE: 0.2 km of open waterE: 0.2 km of open waterESE: 0.1 km of open waterSE: 0.2 km of open waterSSE: 0.6 km of open waterS: 1.8 km of open waterSSW: open sea (over 200 km)SW: open sea (over 200 km)WSW: 153.8 km of open waterW: open sea (over 200 km)WNW: open sea (over 200 km)NW: open sea (over 200 km)NNW: 147.1 km of open waterNESW

Open to SSW–NNW. Waves and swell from there reach the site.

Sheltered from N–S: land blocks the waves.

Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.
