- παλίρροια
- At Golfo Aranci the tidal cycle shows in the thread of current and not in the level of the water. The tide is felt more in narrow channels than in front of an open shore. If the current is faster than your easy pace, it is already too much. The direction of the current changes with the wind of the last few hours.
- καταφύγιο
- The coast here runs NE–SW and opens to the northwest: that is what decides which forecast to read. The bay works like a funnel: with the swell in the mouth the water inside dirties, and it stays dirty after the wind has dropped. Before getting in, look at where you will come out if the wind turns: the exit is not always the entry. At Golfo Aranci the swell forecast matters more than the wind forecast on this stretch.
- συνθήκες
- If you cannot see the bottom 120 m out, the day is over before it starts. With 20 m at 380 m from the entry you go from inshore water to outside water without any real transit. In Maestrale the suspension stays inshore; in Scirocco it is gone in half a day. At Golfo Aranci the good days are few and have to be taken when they come.
- κίνδυνος
- The mouth of the bay is where the swell concentrates and where getting back becomes difficult. The marker has to follow you even when you are working 150 m from the shore: 50 m from the vertical below it is the legal maximum. If you feel out of place, you are out of place: come out. If you are alone, halve everything: depth, times and distance from shore.
- πρόσβαση
- The mark sits about 10 m from the coastline: the useful water starts practically under the shore. In a cove you normally get in off the low shore at the head of the bay, where the water is calmer. Park where it is allowed: a towed car ruins more than the day. At Golfo Aranci many accesses cross private property: if it is signed, look for another one.
