Conditions at Bajo de Fuera

Bajo de Fuera is open to the sea from the NNW–SW, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions.

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

The water is 22 °C at the surface and warm to about 17 m, so a 5 mm wetsuit suits most dives.

Shelter

Open water in each direction from the site. Longer petals mean more open sea, so more exposure to wind waves and swell from that direction.N: 52.8 km of open waterNNE: 102.3 km of open waterNE: open sea (over 200 km)ENE: open sea (over 200 km)E: open sea (over 200 km)ESE: open sea (over 200 km)SE: 194.7 km of open waterSSE: 189.4 km of open waterS: open sea (over 200 km)SSW: open sea (over 200 km)SW: open sea (over 200 km)WSW: 6.8 km of open waterW: 7.6 km of open waterWNW: 9.7 km of open waterNW: 12.1 km of open waterNNW: 26.9 km of open waterNESW
