Conditions at Hans Schmidt (Istra)

Hans Schmidt (Istra) is open to the sea from the ESE–N, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions.

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

The water is 18 °C at the surface and stays warm past 38 m, so a 7 mm or semi-dry suits most dives.

Shelter

Open water in each direction from the site.
