Waves and swell are adjusted for this site's shelter from the coastline. Arrows point where the wind and swell go. Night hours are shaded. Tide times come from an ocean model: usually within about half an hour, more in complex waters. Check official tide tables.

Conditions at SS Clan Stewart
SS Clan Stewart is open to the sea from the ENE–SE, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the SSE–N.
Over the next 7 days it's good or better on Wed and a no-go on Sat, Sun and Tue (gusts and waves). Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.
The water is 15 °C at the surface and warm to about 17 m, so a 7 mm or semi-dry suits most dives.
Shelter
Open to ENE–SE. Waves and swell from there reach the site.
Sheltered from SSE–N: land blocks the waves.
Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.

Waves are adjusted for this site's shelter from the coastline.
Tides come from a coarse ocean model. The range, and whether tides are bigger or smaller this week, are about right. Times are usually within about half an hour, but complex tides (the Solent, Portland, narrow straits) are poor. Slack water isn't in the score yet: plan with official tide tables and local advice.
