Getting to know the sea in Menorca
- Wind
Winds here have names: tramontana (from the north), mestral (from the north-west), garbí (from the south-west) and levante (from the east).
Each beach page uses these names when they blow, and they count in the verdict like any other wind. Each name links to its definition.
- Tide
In the Mediterranean the tide varies by only a few centimetres, so we do not mark high or low tide.
- Bathing water
