Conditions at Green Bay

Green Bay is open to the sea from the N–SE, so waves build there when the vorias, gregos, levantes and sirokos blow.

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 MUSAN Underwater Sculpture Museum (7.8 km, sheltered from the N–E).

The water is 23 °C at the surface and stays warm past 56 m, so a 5 mm wetsuit 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: 36.7 km of open waterNNE: 61.8 km of open waterNE: open sea (over 200 km)ENE: 165.2 km of open waterE: 166.4 km of open waterESE: 172.2 km of open waterSE: 181.8 km of open waterSSE: 0.5 km of open waterS: 0.4 km of open waterSSW: 0.3 km of open waterSW: 0.2 km of open waterWSW: 0.2 km of open waterW: 0.2 km of open waterWNW: 0.2 km of open waterNW: 0.2 km of open waterNNW: 0.2 km of open waterNESW

Open to N–SE. Waves and swell from there reach the site.

Sheltered from SSE–NNW: land blocks the waves.

Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.
