FAQ about Otranto
What is the sea like today at Otranto?
At Otranto the sea changes with the day's wind: the calm-sea index above runs from 0 to 100 and already accounts for the exact exposure of this stretch of coast, not the open sea. Above 70 it is pleasant, below 40 it is better to pick another beach.
When is the best time to visit Otranto?
The months with the calmest sea and least rain are July, August, June, based on 5 years of Copernicus data. In peak summer the sea is almost always swimmable: what matters most is the wind on the day.
Is Otranto worth it with this wind?
Otranto faces E: when the wind comes from land the sea stays flat, when it comes from the open sea it picks up. The index above already accounts for the current direction.
