Conditions at Abu Kafan
Abu Kafan is open to the sea from the NNW–S, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions.
Over the next 7 days it's good or better on Sun, Mon and Tue. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.
The water is 26 °C at the surface and warm to about 46 m, so a 3 mm wetsuit suits most dives.
Shelter
Open to NNW–S. Waves and swell from there reach the site.
Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.
