## Conditions at Chris Christensen (Longstone End)

Chris Christensen (Longstone End) is open to the sea from the **NW–SSE**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the SW–WNW.

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

The water stays warm past 22 m.
