Offshore, waves of 0,30 m are forecast; 0,21 m reach the shore: 30% less, because the wave arrives at an angle, not head on.
The wind blows from the Gregale at 17 km/h: it comes off the sea and pushes the wave ashore. 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.
Today Santa Caterina has a sea with a few waves, 0,21 m wave at the shore. Water at 30°.
Santa Caterina faces east. The Ponente wind comes off the land and keeps the wave down, the Levanter wind raises it.
