Set on the eastern (Levante) flank of the Punta de la Mona headland just outside the sheltered Marina del Este cove, the site faces roughly south with its open window swinging through the E-SE sector toward the Alboran Sea. The microtidal Mediterranean here is wind-wave driven, so the real exposure is to easterly Levante fetch wrapping onto the wall from the E through SE; due-south and SSE swell still reaches the seaward face, but the southern tip of the headland begins to screen anything from the SSW. The headland mass sits to the west and SW, throwing a deep shadow over westerly Poniente winds and blocking the whole W-NW-N sector, though the exposed point funnels current that can run strong and shift quickly.
