Conditions at Tug 2
Tug 2 is open to the sea from the NNW–ESE, so waves build there when the tramuntana, grigal and lvant 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 Anchor Bay (15 km, sheltered from the NNW–ESE), Blue Lagoon Tunnel (19 km, sheltered from the NNW–ESE) or X127 (2.1 km, sheltered from the E–ESE, NNW–NE).
The water is 22 °C at the surface and warm to about 16 m, so a 5 mm wetsuit suits most dives.
Shelter
Open to NNW–ESE. Waves and swell from there reach the site.
Sheltered from SE–NW: land blocks the waves.
Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.
