Conditions at Oued Yquem

Oued Yquem is open to the sea from the N–SSE, so waves build there when the tramontana, grecale, levante and scirocco blow. Land shelters it from the WSW, NW–NNW.

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 Tegghia Liscia (6.2 km, sheltered from the N–NE, SSE).

The water is 19 °C at the surface and stays warm past 34 m, so a 7 mm or semi-dry 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: open sea (over 200 km)NNE: open sea (over 200 km)NE: open sea (over 200 km)ENE: open sea (over 200 km)E: open sea (over 200 km)ESE: open sea (over 200 km)SE: open sea (over 200 km)SSE: open sea (over 200 km)S: 18.9 km of open waterSSW: 11.1 km of open waterSW: 9.4 km of open waterWSW: 2.1 km of open waterW: 5.0 km of open waterWNW: 9.9 km of open waterNW: 1.6 km of open waterNNW: 1.9 km of open waterNESW

Open to N–SSE. Waves and swell from there reach the site.

Sheltered from WSW, NW–NNW: land blocks the waves.

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