## Conditions at Shark Observatory

Shark Observatory is open to the sea from the **NE–SW**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the WSW–NNW.

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 [Marsa Bareika](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/egypt/south-sinai/sharm-el-sheikh/marsa-bareika) (7.4 km, sheltered from the NE–ENE, SSE–SW).

The water stays warm past 56 m.
