## Conditions at HMS Pomone (Needles protected wreck)

HMS Pomone (Needles protected wreck) is open to the sea from the **ESE–W**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the ENE–E.

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

The water stays warm past 13 m.
