Conditions at Xlendi Cave and Reef
Xlendi Cave and Reef is open to the sea from the SSW–W, so waves build there when the lbiċ and punent 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 Xwejni Bay (6.3 km, sheltered from the SSW–W), Santa Maria Caves (11 km, sheltered from the SSW–W) or Bottleneck Cave (6.2 km, sheltered from the SSW–WSW).
The water is 22 °C at the surface and warm to about 41 m, so a 5 mm wetsuit suits most dives.
Shelter
Open to SSW–W. Waves and swell from there reach the site.
Sheltered from WNW–S: land blocks the waves.
Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.
