## Conditions at Manta Alley

Manta Alley is open to the sea from the **S–WSW**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the NW–SSE.

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

When it's rough here, try [Padar](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/indonesia/east-nusa-tenggara/komodo/padar) (18 km, sheltered from the S–WSW).

The water is warm to about 17 m.
