## Conditions at Alondra

Alondra is open to the sea from the **E–WSW**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the NW–NNE.

Over the next 7 days no day looks good: Sat, Tue and Wed are a no-go (waves). Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water stays warm past 25 m.
