The site sits on the seaward W-to-NW-facing shore of the Pointe de la Revellata headland, with its open swell window running from WSW through NW to N, straight into the open Mediterranean. Both the NW Mistral/Tramontane and the westerly fetch arrive unbroken here. The peninsula's own SW-running coast blocks the S and SW sectors, so the Libeccio and the southerly Scirocco reach the site only weakly, while the Corsican landmass to the E and NE shelters the landward arc. Being microtidal, conditions are governed by wind rather than tide, and the dive is best on light W-through-N days.
