## Conditions at The Skerries

The Skerries is open to the sea from the **SW–WSW, NNW–ENE**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the SE, W–NW.

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

When it's rough here, try [Newry Beach](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/united-kingdom/north-wales/anglesey/newry-beach) (11 km, sheltered from the SW–WSW, NNW–NE).

The water stays warm past 25 m.
