## 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 warm to about 17 m.
