## Conditions at Shag Rock

Shag Rock is open to the sea from the **E–S, WSW, WNW–NNW**, 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 Wed. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

When it's rough here, try [Gubal Barge](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/egypt/red-sea-coast/hurghada/gubal-barge) (13 km, sheltered from the S, WSW, WNW–NNW).

The water stays warm past 56 m.
