Dofí (Dolphin Cave) / Carall Bernat, Medes Islands

Sitting at the exposed southern tip of the Medes archipelago (south of Meda Petita and out to the Carall Bernat pinnacle), the site faces open Mediterranean across its east through south-east sectors. The bulk of Meda Petita and Meda Gran shields it from the strong N-NW Tramontana, and the islands also break the westerly swell, but the open E-ESE-SE window takes the full wind-wave fetch of the Llevant (easterly) and warm Scirocco storms, the swell directions that build the biggest seas on this coast; the due-south sector is only partly sheltered by the Carall Bernat islet itself. Being microtidal there is no meaningful tide, but the southernmost pinnacle is notoriously current-swept when wind drives water around the islands.
