## Conditions at La Vaca

La Vaca is open to the sea from the **NNW–SSE**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the S–SSW, WSW–NW.

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 40 m.
