## Conditions at Catterline Island

Catterline Island is open to the sea from the **NE–S**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better on Sat, Sun and Mon and a no-go on Tue and Wed (waves). Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water stays warm past 34 m.
