A small rocky bay on the Marfa peninsula. It is one of a run of coves along that shore, all reached from the ridge road.
Sheltered today. The wind is NW at 36 km/h.
This is one of several small coves along the Marfa peninsula. They are all reached from the ridge road and none of them is well signposted. The shore is rock, the entry is off a ledge and the water is deep straight away.
There is nothing here. The appeal is that on the same afternoon Għadira is full, a cove like this one holds a handful of people. It faces east, so a wind from the east or the north-east makes it not worth the drive out.
It is sheltered from the south-west round to the north-east. There is no open water on those bearings for a wind to build a swell across. It is open to the east-north-east to the east, where the sea runs for kilometres before it reaches this shore. A wind out of the east-south-east round to the south-south-west has some water to work with but not the full run.
Measured as metres of open water on each bearing out from the shore. This is the bay’s own geography and it does not change; whether it is swimmable this afternoon is the reading at the top of the page, which also weighs how hard the wind is actually blowing.
