~4 km model grid; nearest model water 2.6 km away. Daily averages; the thermocline can move several metres day to day.
HMS Maori is open to the sea from the N–E, 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 Wied iż-Żurrieq (11 km, sheltered from the N–E), Anchor Bay (17 km, sheltered from the N–E) or X127 (1.1 km, sheltered from the N–NE, E).
The water is 22 °C at the surface and warm to about 16 m, so a 5 mm wetsuit suits most dives.
Open to N–E. Waves and swell from there reach the site.
Sheltered from ESE–NNW: land blocks the waves.
Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.
Scores are today's best daylight hour.
