## Conditions at SS Meldon

SS Meldon is open to the sea from the **SSE–SW**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the WSW–NNE.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better on Sun, Mon, Tue and Wed. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water stays warm past 47 m.
