## Conditions at Cruces de Malpique

Cruces de Malpique is open to the sea from the **SE–WNW**, 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.

When it's rough here, try [Las Cabras](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/spain/canary-islands/la-palma/las-cabras-la-palma) (1.7 km, sheltered from the SSW–WNW).

The water is warm to about 47 m.
