Agni Reef

Agni Reef sits at the mouth of Agni Bay on the west side of the narrow Corfu Channel, on the island's sheltered northeast coast. The bulk of Corfu to the west, northwest and southwest fully blocks the dominant Ionian W-SW swell and the Meltemi-driven NW airflow, so those sectors are shut down and the site is calm on most days. There is no true ocean swell here — waves are locally generated wind-sea over the channel's limited fetch. The exposed window runs down the channel axis: the SE-SSE-S sector is the most open, catching chop that funnels up from the Ionian mouth of the channel, with a weaker window to the ENE-E across the roughly 2.5 km gap to the Albanian mainland and up-channel to the N. A sustained southerly or a strong down-channel blow is the only thing that meaningfully disturbs the surface.
