Conditions at Big Brother

Big Brother is open to the sea from the all directions, 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 26 °C at the surface and warm to about 44 m, so a 3 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: 194.9 km of open waterNNE: 163.7 km of open waterNE: 127.9 km of open waterENE: 134.1 km of open waterE: 155.4 km of open waterESE: open sea (over 200 km)SE: open sea (over 200 km)SSE: open sea (over 200 km)S: 126.4 km of open waterSSW: 73.2 km of open waterSW: 61.9 km of open waterWSW: 60.3 km of open waterW: 65.8 km of open waterWNW: 92.0 km of open waterNW: 141.6 km of open waterNNW: 177.4 km of open waterNESW
