Weather conditions and forecast on the Island of Elba
Elba has a typical sea climate, with rather mild temperatures even during the winter. It seldom rains, especially during the summer.
The most frequent wind is the Scirocco (south-east), not very strong, and in the summer afternoons it alternates with the cooler Maestrale (north-west), that helps make your days on the beachmore pleasant and less stifling.
On the other hand the less frequent Libeccio (south-west) and Ponente (west) are quite strong and the sea can become quite rough.
The crossings to and from the mainland are seldom cancelled because of bad weather, at the most once or twice a year, but never for a whole day.
The ice-cold Tramontana (north) and Grecale (north-east) hardly ever blow during the winter; fotunately, thanks to the conformation of the coastline, Elba always provides shelter, regardless of which wind is blowing.
