## Conditions at The Okikawa Maru

The Okikawa Maru is open to the sea from the **NW**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the NNE–ESE, WNW.

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 [The Lusong Gunboat](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/philippines/palawan/coron/the-lusong-gunboat) (7.9 km, sheltered from the NW).

The water stays warm past 25 m.
