Conditions at MV Rozi

MV Rozi is open to the sea from the NE–ENE, SSW–W, so waves build there when the grigal, lbiċ and punent blow. Land shelters it from the N–NNE, 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 X127 (19 km, sheltered from the NE, SSW–W), Santa Maria Caves (3.4 km, sheltered from the SSW–W) or Ħondoq ir-Rummien (4.2 km, sheltered from the NE–ENE, WSW–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 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: 1.7 km of open waterNNE: 2.0 km of open waterNE: open sea (over 200 km)ENE: open sea (over 200 km)E: 2.4 km of open waterESE: 0.3 km of open waterSE: 0.3 km of open waterSSE: 1.0 km of open waterS: 1.4 km of open waterSSW: open sea (over 200 km)SW: open sea (over 200 km)WSW: open sea (over 200 km)W: open sea (over 200 km)WNW: 9.1 km of open waterNW: 4.8 km of open waterNNW: 4.5 km of open waterNESW

Open to NE–ENE, SSW–W. Waves and swell from there reach the site.

Sheltered from N–NNE, E–S: land blocks the waves.

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