## Conditions at SS Kyarra

SS Kyarra is open to the sea from the **NE–WSW**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the WNW–NNW.

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

When it's rough here, try [Kimmeridge Bay](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/united-kingdom/dorset/swanage/kimmeridge-bay) (14 km, sheltered from the NE–SE).

The water stays warm past 29 m.
