Conditions at Wied iż-Żurrieq
Wied iż-Żurrieq is open to the sea from the ESE–W, so waves build there when the xlokk, nofsinhar, lbiċ and punent 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 X127 (10 km, sheltered from the ESE–W), HMS Maori (11 km, sheltered from the ESE–W) or Qawra Point (16 km, sheltered from the SE–SW, W).
The water is 22 °C at the surface and warm to about 11 m, so a 5 mm wetsuit suits most dives.
Shelter
Open to ESE–W. Waves and swell from there reach the site.
Sheltered from WNW–E: land blocks the waves.
Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.
