Conditions at Katharinenhof

Katharinenhof is open to the sea from the NNW–SE, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions.

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: 27.9 km of open waterNNE: 22.6 km of open waterNE: 34.2 km of open waterENE: 38.7 km of open waterE: 77.1 km of open waterESE: 62.1 km of open waterSE: 45.6 km of open waterSSE: 0.4 km of open waterS: 0.3 km of open waterSSW: 0.2 km of open waterSW: 0.2 km of open waterWSW: 0.1 km of open waterW: 0.2 km of open waterWNW: 0.2 km of open waterNW: 0.5 km of open waterNNW: 36.5 km of open waterNESW
