## Conditions at Christmas Point

Christmas Point is open to the sea from the **SSW–ENE**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the E–SSE.

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 [Hideaway Bay](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/thailand/phang-nga/similan-islands/hideaway-bay-similan-islands) (12 km, sheltered from the N–NE, SW–WNW).

The water is warm to about 34 m.
