## Conditions at Apo Island

Apo Island is open to the sea from the **NNE, SSE–WSW**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the NE–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 [Poblacion](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/philippines/negros-oriental/dauin/poblacion) (12 km, sheltered from the NNE, SW–WSW).

The water stays warm past 56 m.
