## Conditions at Pelican Rock

Pelican Rock is open to the sea from the **ENE–ESE**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the SE–NNE.

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

The water is warm to about 49 m.
