## Conditions at West of Eden

West of Eden is open to the sea from the **NE–ENE, SSE, SSW–N**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the E–SE, S.

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) (3.1 km, sheltered from the N, NE, SW–WNW).

The water is warm to about 35 m.
