Conditions at Rocky Island South
Rocky Island South is open to the sea from the NNE–WNW, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the NNW–N.
Over the next 7 days it's good or better every day. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.
The water is 28 °C at the surface and warm to about 32 m, so a rash guard or 1–2 mm suits most dives.
Shelter
Open to NNE–WNW. Waves and swell from there reach the site.
Sheltered from NNW–N: land blocks the waves.
Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.
