## Conditions at USS Arkansas

USS Arkansas is open to the sea from the **ESE–WNW, NNW–N**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions.

Over the next 7 days no day looks good: Mon and Wed are a no-go (waves and surge). Thu, Fri and Sat are only a trend so far.

The water is warm to about 31 m.
