- At Moneglia-Framura the tidal cycle shows in the thread of current and not in the level of the water. The level moves by a few centimetres and opens or closes no passage at all. With Libeccio strengthening the inshore current picks up before the swell does. The ten-metre line, 830 m offshore, does not move with the level: it moves with the swell.
- zaklon
- The channel between the rock and the coast is the part that settles first and the part that turns awkward last. With an exposure of 235° the awkward sector runs from south to west, and outside it the day is usually saved. At Moneglia-Framura the difference between a bad day and a good one is a hundred metres of coast, not an hour of waiting. With the wind from the northeast at your back you can work; with the swell from the southwest in your face you look and go home.

- Depth does not come to you here: out to 830 m from the shore you are in a bare ten metres. The outside water arrives when the wind from the northeast pushes it in; with an old sea it stays offshore for days. With Libeccio strengthening, the good window closes without warning. By 830 m from the shore you already know whether it is worth going on.
- opasnost
- On the shoreline at Moneglia-Framura the same national rules apply without discounts: breath-hold, daylight, marker in sight. Around an islet the way back to shore is always longer than it looks from outside. At 70 m from the shore no emergency sorts itself out: come out at the first sign. Blackout gives no warning, and the margins shrink when you are tired.
- pristup
- The crossing out to the structure is the exposed part of the day. Between the coast and the mark there are 70 m of water, to be counted twice, out and back. Fix a landmark ashore in your head: from out there the coast changes face. Carry out what you carry in, and what you find as well.
Rocky flanks of the bay; stay west, the Cinque Terre MPA begins at Punta Mesco.
