Libya's National Meteorological Center Issues Sea Conditions Bulletin for June 11
All Libyan Coasts Clear — No Marine Warnings Issued Today
Libya's National Meteorological Center confirmed on Thursday, June 11, 2026, that all coastal beaches across the country remain free of any marine warnings, with generally stable visibility and calm sea conditions along both the western and eastern shores. The fishing and maritime bulletin, valid from 09:00 local time Thursday through 12:00 UTC tomorrow, covers the entire 1,770-kilometer Libyan coastline from Ras Ajdir in the west to Amsaad in the east.
Western Coast: Mild Waves Building by Tomorrow
Along the western coastline — spanning from Ras Ajdir through Misrata to Sirte — skies are expected to remain clear to partly cloudy. Winds are blowing from the northwest to northeast at speeds ranging between 5 and 20 knots, with the Misrata coast experiencing eastern winds today that will shift to the northwest (known locally as "Shalouq") from Tripoli to Sirte by Friday. Wave heights are projected between 0.50 and 2.00 meters, with sea conditions described as light to slightly turbulent by tomorrow morning. Surface sea temperatures are holding steady at 23–24°C, and visibility remains good across the entire stretch.
Eastern Coast: Calmest Waters in the Country
The eastern coastline — from Ras Lanuf to Amsaad, including the Benghazi harbor zone — is experiencing the calmest marine conditions in Libya today. Winds are variable to northwest at 5–15 knots, with wave heights between just 0.25 and 1.00 meters. State of sea is rated calm to light. Surface temperatures match the west at 23–24°C, with visibility reported as fully clear. This makes the eastern shore the safest zone for small fishing vessels and recreational boating throughout the bulletin period.
Key Facts at a Glance

- Western coast wind speeds: 5–20 knots; eastern coast: 5–15 knots

Active Wind Warning for Al Khums Coast
The center did flag one area of concern: a northwest "Shalouq" wind reaching up to 25 knots today specifically along the Al Khums coastal sector, which sits roughly midway between Tripoli and Misrata. This represents the strongest recorded wind speed along any Libyan coast during this bulletin period and could affect small craft. Fishermen operating near Al Khums should exercise caution until the wind subsides later today, according to the center's marine forecasting division.
Why This Matters for Libya's 12 Million Residents
Over 80% of Libya's population lives along the Mediterranean coast, making marine weather bulletins critical daily information for millions. Libya's fishing industry — a primary food source and livelihood for coastal communities from Zuwara to Benghazi — depends directly on these forecasts. The stable conditions announced today are particularly welcome during the peak of Libya's summer fishing season, when daily catches feed fresh fish markets across the country. Port authorities in Tripoli, Misrata, and Benghazi use these bulletins to coordinate shipping lanes, with Misrata alone handling over 40% of Libya's commercial maritime traffic.
Favorable Conditions Expected to Hold Into the Weekend
The meteorological center's extended outlook suggests that calm to light sea conditions will persist along most of Libya's coastline through Saturday, with temperatures gradually climbing toward 25°C at the surface. This is positive news for the hundreds of coastal restaurants and beachfront communities that drive Libya's summer tourism economy. Residents and visitors along both shores can expect safe swimming conditions, while commercial fishing fleets should benefit from extended operational windows through the end of the week.
