Conditions at El arco de San Andrés

El arco de San Andrés is open to the sea from the NNE–S, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions.

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

The water is 22 °C at the surface and warm to about 17 m, so a 5 mm wetsuit suits most dives.

Shelter

Open water in each direction from the site. Longer petals mean more open sea, so more exposure to wind waves and swell from that direction.N: 1.8 km of open waterNNE: 34.5 km of open waterNE: 89.3 km of open waterENE: open sea (over 200 km)E: open sea (over 200 km)ESE: open sea (over 200 km)SE: 176.7 km of open waterSSE: 169.9 km of open waterS: open sea (over 200 km)SSW: 2.4 km of open waterSW: 2.1 km of open waterWSW: 1.2 km of open waterW: 1.1 km of open waterWNW: 0.7 km of open waterNW: 0.7 km of open waterNNW: 1.2 km of open waterNESW
