## Conditions at Dakotian

Dakotian is open to the sea from the **S–SSW**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the SE–SSE, SW–NE.

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

When it's rough here, try [St Brides Haven](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/united-kingdom/pembrokeshire/skomer/st-brides-haven) (7.5 km, sheltered from the S–SSW) or [Behar](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/united-kingdom/pembrokeshire/tenby/behar-wreck-milford-haven) (1.6 km, sheltered from the S).

The water stays warm past 34 m.
