Scoglietto is an isolated islet roughly 1.5 km off Capo Bianco, so its deep north-west wall is fully open to the Ligurian Sea and takes the brunt of the NW Mistral/Tramontana, the strongest regional wind, as well as any northerly wind-wave swell. The body of Elba shadows the south and south-east sectors, keeping the shallower cave side relatively calm. Because the rock stands alone, dives are best on settled days when the dominant NW-N wind is light.
