Field notes

Embarca combines bathymetric data, map overlays, launch points, local boating guidance, and weather forecasts for short trips in small boats. Its stated coverage spans 2,100 km of Spanish Mediterranean coastline and includes 305 launch sites, with seven days of forecast information for each point. The page gives concrete examples of the seabed drop near Cerro Gordo and Caleta de Vélez, then frames calm conditions below half a metre of wave height as the useful threshold for dolphin viewing.
