## Conditions at USS Kittiwake

USS Kittiwake is open to the sea from the **S–WNW**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the NW–ESE.

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 56 m.
