Conditions at Jack Faru

Jack Faru is open to the sea from the NE–E, SE–NNW, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions.

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

The water is 30 °C at the surface and warm to about 44 m, so a rash guard or 1–2 mm 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: 3.5 km of open waterNNE: 4.2 km of open waterNE: open sea (over 200 km)ENE: open sea (over 200 km)E: open sea (over 200 km)ESE: 12.2 km of open waterSE: open sea (over 200 km)SSE: open sea (over 200 km)S: 162.4 km of open waterSSW: 115.4 km of open waterSW: open sea (over 200 km)WSW: open sea (over 200 km)W: open sea (over 200 km)WNW: open sea (over 200 km)NW: open sea (over 200 km)NNW: open sea (over 200 km)NESW
