Offshore, waves of 0,32 m are forecast; 0,09 m reach the shore: 72% less, because the wave is not heading for this beach, it runs past it.
The Levanter wind at 14 km/h runs along the shore: it does not raise the wave. Today's wave is mixed: part raised by the local wind, part arriving from far away. Even when the wind eases it does not disappear entirely.
