## Conditions at Bay 1-2

Bay 1-2 is open to the sea from the **NNE–SSW**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions.

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 [Bungalow Bay](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/thailand/phuket/racha-islands/bungalow-bay) (1.4 km, sheltered from the NNE–SSW).

The water is warm to about 28 m.
