## Conditions at Paradise 1

Paradise 1 is open to the sea from the **N–SSE, WSW–WNW**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the S–SW.

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

The water stays warm past 25 m.
