## Conditions at Kubajima East

Kubajima East is open to the sea from the **NNE, SSE–S, WNW–NNW**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the SSW–W.

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

When it's rough here, try [Shiru](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/japan/okinawa-prefecture/zamami/shiru) (7.8 km, sheltered from the NNE, S, WNW–NNW).

The water stays warm past 56 m.
