The libeccio (Catalan: Llebeig or Garbí, Greek: Γαρμπής) is the westerly or south-westerly wind which predominates in northern Corsica all year round; it frequently raises high seas and may give violent westerly squalls. In summer it is most persistent, but in winter it alternates with the Tramontane (north-east or north). The word libeccio is Italian, coming from Greek through Latin, and originally means "Libyan", whilst in Italian it is known as "lbiċ".
