## Conditions at Five Rocks

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

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.
