Conditions at Shark Fin Reef
Shark Fin Reef is open to the sea from the W–S, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the WSW.
Over the next 7 days it's good or better every day. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.
The water is 30 °C at the surface and warm to about 35 m, so a rash guard or 1–2 mm suits most dives.
Shelter
Open to W–S. Waves and swell from there reach the site.
Sheltered from WSW: land blocks the waves.
Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.

About this forecast
Updated Sat 14 Nov, 22:30 · weather run 06Z 14 Nov · waves run 00Z 14 Nov
Waves are adjusted for this site's shelter from the coastline.
Tides come from a coarse ocean model. The range, and whether tides are bigger or smaller this week, are about right. Times are usually within about half an hour, but complex tides (the Solent, Portland, narrow straits) are poor. Slack water isn't in the score yet: plan with official tide tables and local advice.
