Conditions at Cirkewwa Arch
Cirkewwa Arch is open to the sea from the ENE, SSW–W, so waves build there when the lbiċ and punent blow. Land shelters it from the N–NE, E–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 Santa Maria Caves (3.3 km, sheltered from the SSW–W), Xwejni Bay (12 km, sheltered from the SSW–W) or Tug 2 (17 km, sheltered from the SSW–W).
The water is 22 °C at the surface and warm to about 28 m, so a 5 mm wetsuit suits most dives.
Shelter
Open to ENE, SSW–W. Waves and swell from there reach the site.
Sheltered from N–NE, E–S: land blocks the waves.
Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.
