## Conditions at Santa Maria Bay

Santa Maria Bay is open to the sea from the **ENE–SW**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the WSW–NNE.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better on Sun, Mon and Tue and a no-go on Sat (surge). Wed, Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

When it's rough here, try [Pelican Rock](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/mexico/baja-california-sur/cabo-pulmo/pelican-rock) (10 km, sheltered from the SE–SW).

The water is warm to about 49 m.
