Weather on the Water

The essentials

Sarandë sits in a sheltered natural bay. Most days are calm; the exceptions are the mistral (a strong northwest wind) and occasional summer storms rolling off the mountains. Neither lasts long — usually a half-day.

Highlights

• Prevailing wind: NW (mistral), afternoon build
• Water temp: 21°C May → 27°C August
• Storms are rare in July and rarely all-day
