Conditions at Rannalhi Bodu Giri

Rannalhi Bodu Giri is open to the sea from the N–ESE, SSE–NW, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the NNW.

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.
