Conditions at Nanos

Nanos is open to the sea from the SSE–SSW, 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.

When it's rough here, try Sv. Grgur - Canyon (13 km, sheltered from the SSE–SSW) or Selzine (19 km, sheltered from the SSE–SSW).

The water is 17 °C at the surface and stays warm past 56 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: 18.4 km of open waterNNE: 13.8 km of open waterNE: 13.5 km of open waterENE: 15.5 km of open waterE: 8.6 km of open waterESE: 7.2 km of open waterSE: 10.4 km of open waterSSE: 84.2 km of open waterS: 56.5 km of open waterSSW: 22.1 km of open waterSW: 15.7 km of open waterWSW: 12.5 km of open waterW: 12.7 km of open waterWNW: 13.9 km of open waterNW: 16.0 km of open waterNNW: 12.8 km of open waterNESW

Open to SSE–SSW. Waves and swell from there reach the site.
