Facing southwest (220°), it is sheltered with the Gregale (NE) or Tramontane (N); with the Libeccio (SW) or Ostro (S), which comes from the sea, it gets rougher.
Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable. The seabed type is inferred from nearby beaches mapped on OpenStreetMap.
