Conditions at Double Arch
Double Arch is open to the sea from the W–ESE, so waves build there when the tramuntana, grigal, lvant, 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 Xlendi Cave and Reef (6.5 km, sheltered from the WNW–ESE), Mġarr ix-Xini (7.5 km, sheltered from the W–E) or Anchor Reef (10 km, sheltered from the WNW–ESE).
The water is 22 °C at the surface and warm to about 35 m, so a 5 mm wetsuit suits most dives.
Shelter
Open to W–ESE. Waves and swell from there reach the site.
Sheltered from SE–WSW: land blocks the waves.
Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.
