Conditions at Tanote Bay
Tanote Bay is open to the sea from the ENE–S, 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 Mae Haad (3.0 km, sheltered from the ENE–S).
The water is 30 °C at the surface and stays warm past 40 m, so a rash guard or 1–2 mm suits most dives.
Shelter
Open to ENE–S. Waves and swell from there reach the site.
Sheltered from SSW–NE: 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.
