na granicidanas izložen mrtvom moru u lice (razina grada)
- prozor
- With ten metres of water 240 m from the shore, the band where you meet the local orders is all of it right here. At Monte Argentario as anywhere else, the hours of the session are the hours of the sun. Carrying your papers costs nothing and settles everything. Plan the way back while the light is still good: coming out over rock in the dark is another thing entirely.
- plima
- The current you will find towards the west will nearly always be wind-driven and not tidal. If anything changes the level at Monte Argentario, it is pressure and wind, not the moon. The way back, 240 m to the five-metre band, is decided beforehand and not on the way. In a hard Ponente the water piles up inshore and drains away sideways.
- zaklon
- In a bay like this the shelter is a few tens of metres wide, tucked against the windward point rather than in the middle of the arc, and in a hard Ponente not even that. The opening to the west is wide: no nearby storm is needed here, an old sea from that sector is enough. The 240 m that separate the shore from ten metres of water tell you how much sea it takes to ruin the day. At Monte Argentario the old rule holds: watch the sea for ten minutes, then decide.
