Cala Major opens to the south: with southerly, south-easterly or south-westerly winds, swell usually rolls in.
With northerly, north-easterly or north-westerly winds, by contrast, it is usually more sheltered.
This is a general orientation based on which way it opens, not a forecast: the shape of each coast changes it, so check the day’s weather before you go.
