## Conditions at Las Canteras

Las Canteras is open to the sea from the **WNW–N**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the NNE–SW.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better on Mon, Tue and Wed. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water is warm to about 42 m.
