Conditions at Veligandu East

Veligandu East is open to the sea from the WSW–SSW, 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 stays warm past 16 m, so a rash guard or 1–2 mm suits most dives.

Shelter

Open water in each direction from the site.
