## Conditions at Tanjung Gurita

Tanjung Gurita is open to the sea from the **S–SSW, WSW–ENE**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the E–SSE.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better every day. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water is warm to about 11 m.
