Waves and swell are adjusted for this site's shelter from the coastline. Arrows point where the wind and swell go. Night hours are shaded. Tide times come from an ocean model: usually within about half an hour, more in complex waters. Check official tide tables.

Conditions at Una Una

Una Una is open to the sea from the NW–S, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions.

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

The water is 31 °C at the surface and warm to about 13 m, so a rash guard or 1–2 mm 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: 70.4 km of open waterNNE: 69.3 km of open waterNE: 96.7 km of open waterENE: 174.6 km of open waterE: open sea (over 200 km)ESE: 42.7 km of open waterSE: 34.1 km of open waterSSE: 34.0 km of open waterS: 44.6 km of open waterSSW: 1.1 km of open waterSW: 0.8 km of open waterWSW: 0.6 km of open waterW: 0.7 km of open waterWNW: 1.0 km of open waterNW: 85.0 km of open waterNNW: 74.4 km of open waterNESW

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

Sheltered from SSW–WNW: land blocks the waves.

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

Waves are adjusted for this site's shelter from the coastline.

Tides come from a coarse ocean model. The range, and whether tides are bigger or smaller this week, are about right. Times are usually within about half an hour, but complex tides (the Solent, Portland, narrow straits) are poor. Slack water isn't in the score yet: plan with official tide tables and local advice.
