Conditions at Rockingham Wreck Trail

Rockingham Wreck Trail is open to the sea from the NNW–N, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the ENE–WSW.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better every day. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water is 20 °C at the surface and stays warm past 13 m, so a 7 mm or semi-dry suits most dives.

Shelter

Open water in each direction from the site. Longer petals mean more open sea, so more exposure to wind waves and swell from that direction.N: 24.2 km of open waterNNE: 11.0 km of open waterNE: 3.5 km of open waterENE: 0.8 km of open waterE: 0.4 km of open waterESE: 0.3 km of open waterSE: 0.3 km of open waterSSE: 0.3 km of open waterS: 0.3 km of open waterSSW: 0.4 km of open waterSW: 0.8 km of open waterWSW: 1.4 km of open waterW: 3.2 km of open waterWNW: 3.1 km of open waterNW: 4.6 km of open waterNNW: open sea (over 200 km)NESW
