Conditions at Cap Roig

Cap Roig is open to the sea from the WNW–ESE, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the SSW–W.

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

The water is 20 °C at the surface and warm to about 38 m, so a 7 mm or semi-dry 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: open sea (over 200 km)NNE: open sea (over 200 km)NE: open sea (over 200 km)ENE: open sea (over 200 km)E: open sea (over 200 km)ESE: open sea (over 200 km)SE: 3.9 km of open waterSSE: 3.9 km of open waterS: 3.7 km of open waterSSW: 0.4 km of open waterSW: 0.5 km of open waterWSW: 0.5 km of open waterW: 0.6 km of open waterWNW: open sea (over 200 km)NW: open sea (over 200 km)NNW: open sea (over 200 km)NESW
