Coriolanus

This is an open-water wreck on a flat sandy plain roughly 6 nautical miles offshore, with the Istrian mainland lying to the east, so the eastern sectors toward Novigrad are strongly reduced and give the wreck its main shelter. The site is wide open to the south and southwest, taking the full fetch of a Jugo (Sirocco) blowing up the long SE-to-NW Adriatic axis, which builds the largest and longest waves here. A Bura (Bora) from the NE blows offshore off the mainland mountains and is fierce but short-fetch on this seaward side, while the curving northern Istrian coast gives only partial shelter from the N and NW.
