Conditions at Zélée

Zélée is open to the sea from the WSW–NE, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better on Sat, Sun and Mon. 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 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: 59.4 km of open waterNNE: open sea (over 200 km)NE: open sea (over 200 km)ENE: 0.7 km of open waterE: 0.4 km of open waterESE: 0.3 km of open waterSE: 0.2 km of open waterSSE: 0.2 km of open waterS: 0.3 km of open waterSSW: 0.5 km of open waterSW: 2.9 km of open waterWSW: open sea (over 200 km)W: 21.1 km of open waterWNW: open sea (over 200 km)NW: open sea (over 200 km)NNW: open sea (over 200 km)NESW

Open to WSW–NE. Waves and swell from there reach the site.

Sheltered from ENE–SW: land blocks the waves.
