Conditions at Abu Diab

Abu Diab is open to the sea from the NW–SE, 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 27 °C at the surface and stays warm past 47 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: open sea (over 200 km)NNE: open sea (over 200 km)NE: open sea (over 200 km)ENE: 177.1 km of open waterE: open sea (over 200 km)ESE: open sea (over 200 km)SE: 71.3 km of open waterSSE: 7.7 km of open waterS: 6.1 km of open waterSSW: 6.1 km of open waterSW: 8.4 km of open waterWSW: 10.3 km of open waterW: 9.5 km of open waterWNW: 14.5 km of open waterNW: 78.4 km of open waterNNW: open sea (over 200 km)NESW
