Conditions at Tao-tao

Tao-tao is open to the sea from the SSE–WNW, NNW–NNE, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the NE.

Over the next 7 days no day looks good: Sat, Sun, Mon and Tue are a no-go (surge, waves and gusts). Wed, Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water is 27 °C at the surface and stays warm past 56 m, so a 3 mm wetsuit suits most dives.

Shelter

Open to SSE–WNW, NNW–NNE. Waves and swell from there reach the site.

Sheltered from NE: land blocks the waves.

Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.
