Conditions at Dhonfanu Thila
Dhonfanu Thila is open to the sea from the ENE–ESE, SSE, SSW–WSW, WNW, NNW, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the NNE, SE.
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 42 m, so a rash guard or 1–2 mm suits most dives.
Shelter
Open to ENE–ESE, SSE, SSW–WSW, WNW, NNW. Waves and swell from there reach the site.
Sheltered from NNE, SE: land blocks the waves.
Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.
