Conditions at Fessej Rock
Fessej Rock is open to the sea from the S–WSW, so waves build there when the nofsinhar and lbiċ blow. Land shelters it from the W–ENE.
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 (5.8 km, sheltered from the S–WSW), Xwejni Bay (7.5 km, sheltered from the S–WSW) or Reqqa Point (8.2 km, sheltered from the S–WSW).
The water is 22 °C at the surface and warm to about 32 m, so a 5 mm wetsuit suits most dives.
Shelter
Open to S–WSW. Waves and swell from there reach the site.
Sheltered from W–ENE: land blocks the waves.
Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.
