## Conditions at USS Emmons

USS Emmons is open to the sea from the **WNW–ENE**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the S–WSW.

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

The water stays warm past 56 m.
