- The level barely moves: the 10 m contour stays 300 m from the shore at any hour of the day. Even at springs the band out to five metres stays 280 m wide: the level does not change the route. At Castro Marina the level changes little, but the current towards the east can be noticeable in the channels. Plan on the swell: here it is the only parameter that really changes the day.
- zaklon
- With an exposure of 106° the awkward sector runs from northeast to southeast, and outside it the day is usually saved. 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. At Castro Marina the old rule holds: watch the sea for ten minutes, then decide. If you get in as Levante is easing, remember the sea stays up a day longer than the wind.

- The strip under the shore is the last to clear; the clean part starts where the bottom breaks away. Getting twenty metres under you takes about 580 m of swimming, so it pays to get in already decided on where to go. By 300 m from the shore you already know whether it is worth going on. At Castro Marina the good days are few and have to be taken when they come.
- opasnost
- At Castro Marina, as along the whole Italian coast, the surface marker and the 50 m radius are not negotiable. With Levante into the mouth of the bay the water leaves through the middle and comes back along the sides: keep it in mind for the return. At sea the number to call is 1530, the Coast Guard. The way back from 300 m out is longer than it looks once you are tired.
- pristup
- At Castro Marina the entry at the head of the cove is the one that holds up best even in a made-up sea. The mark is right against the shore, 10 m from the coastline, and ten metres of water is about 300 m out. From the entry point to the shore there are 10 m, and they are the metres that weigh most on the return. If an access is closed, that is not an invitation to go through anyway.
Rocky cove with quick depth; sea bass, sea bream, open to the E.
