## Conditions at Tatawa Besar

Tatawa Besar is open to the sea from the **NNW–ENE**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the SW–WSW.

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

When it's rough here, try [Secret Garden](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/indonesia/east-nusa-tenggara/komodo/secret-garden) (18 km, sheltered from the NNW–ENE).

The water is warm to about 12 m.
