Conditions at Million Hope

Million Hope is open to the sea from the N–NE, ESE, SSE–S, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the SSW–WNW.

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 Ras Bob (11 km, sheltered from the N–NE).

The water is 26 °C at the surface and warm to about 34 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: 38.4 km of open waterNNE: 98.4 km of open waterNE: 31.4 km of open waterENE: 13.7 km of open waterE: 16.1 km of open waterESE: 109.0 km of open waterSE: 8.0 km of open waterSSE: open sea (over 200 km)S: open sea (over 200 km)SSW: 2.7 km of open waterSW: 1.9 km of open waterWSW: 1.2 km of open waterW: 1.1 km of open waterWNW: 1.2 km of open waterNW: 3.1 km of open waterNNW: 4.4 km of open waterNESW
