Conditions at Besmi Island

Besmi Island is open to the sea from the ESE–SE, S–SW, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the NE–ENE, WSW–WNW.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better every day. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water is 23 °C at the surface and stays warm past 56 m, so a 5 mm wetsuit suits most dives.

Shelter

Open water in each direction from the site. Longer petals mean more open sea, so more exposure to wind waves and swell from that direction.N: 5.2 km of open waterNNE: 5.7 km of open waterNE: 2.6 km of open waterENE: 2.8 km of open waterE: 3.3 km of open waterESE: open sea (over 200 km)SE: open sea (over 200 km)SSE: 4.4 km of open waterS: open sea (over 200 km)SSW: open sea (over 200 km)SW: open sea (over 200 km)WSW: 1.6 km of open waterW: 2.3 km of open waterWNW: 2.2 km of open waterNW: 9.4 km of open waterNNW: 4.5 km of open waterNESW
