Questions and answers

Which beach in Mallorca is calm when the wind blows from the south-west (garbí)?

With garbí at 40 km/h, the smallest waves are at: Cala Pi, Cala Falcó, Caló des Homos Morts, Caló des Beato, Caló des Serral.

Where are the waves in Mallorca when the garbí blows?

The most exposed from that side: Platja de Ses Covetes, Platja des Freu, Platja del Toro, Cala Llamp, Sa Ràpita beach.

How do you work this out?

From how open each beach is to the sea (fetch from the OSM coastline every 5 degrees) and the JONSWAP wind-wave formula; the Beaches today layer on the 3D map uses the same logic.
