Conditions at Daedalus Reef

Daedalus Reef 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 29 °C at the surface and warm to about 45 m, so a rash guard or 1–2 mm 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: 147.4 km of open waterNE: 125.8 km of open waterENE: 132.9 km of open waterE: 140.2 km of open waterESE: 176.0 km of open waterSE: open sea (over 200 km)SSE: open sea (over 200 km)S: open sea (over 200 km)SSW: 95.4 km of open waterSW: 86.6 km of open waterWSW: 76.9 km of open waterW: 92.1 km of open waterWNW: 124.3 km of open waterNW: open sea (over 200 km)NNW: open sea (over 200 km)NESW
