## Conditions at James Eagan Layne

James Eagan Layne is open to the sea from the **SE–W**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the NNW–ESE.

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 13 m.
