## Conditions at Caleta de Abajo

Caleta de Abajo is open to the sea from the **NW–ENE**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the 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 [Sardina del Norte](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/spain/canary-islands/gran-canaria/sardina-del-norte-gran-canaria) (2.8 km, sheltered from the NNW–ENE).

The water stays warm past 6 m.
