## Conditions at Pottery

Pottery is open to the sea from the **SSW–N**, 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 [Aow Leuk](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/thailand/surat-thani/koh-tao/aow-leuk) (2.7 km, sheltered from the SSW–N).

The water stays warm past 40 m.
