Live wind speed, direction and sea conditions at Malta's main marinas. Updated every hour via Open-Meteo.
Malta enjoys over 300 days of sunshine per year, making it one of Europe's premier boating destinations. The summer months (June–September) are typically hot, dry and calm with prevailing north-westerly winds (Majjistral) and occasional hot south-easterly Sirocco winds from Africa.
The main local winds in Malta are: Majjistral (NW — the dominant summer breeze), Grigal (NE — the most dangerous, creates rough seas), Xlokk (SE/Sirocco — hot African wind, poor visibility), and Tramuntana (N — cold, choppy seas).
The best months for boating in Malta are May, June, July, August and September. Grigal (NE) winds can appear suddenly and quickly raise dangerous seas, particularly on the northern and eastern coasts. Always check the forecast before heading out.
