## Conditions at Playa Flamingo

Playa Flamingo is open to the sea from the **ESE–SSE, SW–W**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the WNW–ENE.

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

The water is warm to about 31 m.
