Xrobb l-Għaġin is the far end of the Delimara peninsula. The land stops in a low cliff and the rock steps down into deep water. A neolithic temple stood on the headland until much of it fell into the sea, and the ground around it is now a nature park.
The swimming is off the rock with nothing at all provided. The shore is open from the north-east round to the south. That covers most of the weather this coast gets, so come on a calm day. Getting here means driving to the end of the road and then walking.
Which winds this bay can take
It is sheltered from the south-south-west round to the north-west. There is no open water on those bearings for a wind to build a swell across. It is open to the north-north-east round to the south, where the sea runs for kilometres before it reaches this shore. A wind out of the north-north-west to the north 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.
