Conditions at Sha'ab Abu Salama
Sha'ab Abu Salama is open to the sea from the NW–ESE, 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.
When it's rough here, try Balena Wreck (19 km, sheltered from the NW–NNE).
The water is 24 °C at the surface and warm to about 45 m, so a 3 mm wetsuit suits most dives.
Shelter
Open to NW–ESE. Waves and swell from there reach the site.
Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.
