Conditions at Tiva pass

Tiva pass is open to the sea from the ESE, S–NW, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the N–E.

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

When it's rough here, try The Nordby (14 km, sheltered from the S–NW).

The water is 27 °C at the surface and stays warm past 25 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: 2.4 km of open waterNNE: 2.5 km of open waterNE: 1.8 km of open waterENE: 2.0 km of open waterE: 3.0 km of open waterESE: open sea (over 200 km)SE: 9.8 km of open waterSSE: 14.1 km of open waterS: open sea (over 200 km)SSW: open sea (over 200 km)SW: open sea (over 200 km)WSW: open sea (over 200 km)W: open sea (over 200 km)WNW: open sea (over 200 km)NW: 24.6 km of open waterNNW: 7.3 km of open waterNESW

Open to ESE, S–NW. Waves and swell from there reach the site.

Sheltered from N–E: land blocks the waves.

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