| WIND: Two factors determine the summer
winds: the thermal contrast between the land and the sea that favours light breezes and
mild winds in summer, blowing from S to SSW during the day and reaching a maximum of 20
knots at midday. In winter, anti-cyclonic calms are predominant, with occasional low
pressures. INTENSITY:
mild to moderate (2-3-4 Beaufort), and somedays variable (1-B.) or fresh (5-B.). The
"Tramontana" (N) and "Mestral" (NW) are the strongest winds, mainly in
winter, even though they are seldom.
SEA:
Choppy to light swell (caused by the winds).
CURRENT AND TIDES:
Hardly noticeable (they depend on weather changes, winds or atmospheric pressure). |
|
| COMMMENTS: Apart from the summer period (July and
August), May, June and September are the ideal months to spend in the area: quieter where
tourists are concerned, and milder temperatures and winds. |
