## Conditions at Lapus Lapus

Lapus Lapus is open to the sea from the **NNE–ENE, SSE–S, WSW–NNW**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the E–SE.

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

When it's rough here, try [Lighthouse reef](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/philippines/cebu/malapascua/lighthouse-reef) (0.9 km, sheltered from the NNE–ENE, SSE, NNW).

The water is warm to about 16 m.
