Conditions at Docktor

Docktor is open to the sea from the NNW–S, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the SSW–W.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better on Sat, Sun, Mon and Tue. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water is 10 °C at the surface and stays warm past 16 m, so a drysuit 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: 25.4 km of open waterNNE: 21.6 km of open waterNE: 35.2 km of open waterENE: 37.9 km of open waterE: 74.8 km of open waterESE: 59.8 km of open waterSE: 45.3 km of open waterSSE: 40.5 km of open waterS: 53.7 km of open waterSSW: 2.8 km of open waterSW: 2.1 km of open waterWSW: 1.8 km of open waterW: 2.0 km of open waterWNW: 3.0 km of open waterNW: 7.0 km of open waterNNW: 36.8 km of open waterNESW

Sheltered from SSW–W: land blocks the waves.
