## Conditions at Fox Point Beach Dive Site

Fox Point Beach Dive Site is well sheltered: land blocks the open sea in most directions, so it is often diveable when nearby coasts are rough.

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

The water stays warm past 34 m.
