~9 km model grid; nearest model water 3.2 km away, so channels and bays may differ. Daily averages; the thermocline can move several metres day to day.

Conditions at Punta Dalila

Punta Dalila is open to the sea from the S–N, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better every day. Wed, Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water is 29 °C at the surface and stays warm past 56 m, so a rash guard or 1–2 mm 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: 34.0 km of open waterNNE: 1.9 km of open waterNE: 0.8 km of open waterENE: 0.7 km of open waterE: 0.6 km of open waterESE: 0.7 km of open waterSE: 0.9 km of open waterSSE: 2.4 km of open waterS: open sea (over 200 km)SSW: 127.2 km of open waterSW: 64.1 km of open waterWSW: 45.7 km of open waterW: 31.7 km of open waterWNW: 27.4 km of open waterNW: 24.7 km of open waterNNW: 25.7 km of open waterNESW

Open to S–N. Waves and swell from there reach the site.

Sheltered from NNE–SSE: land blocks the waves.

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