## Conditions at Catalina Casino Dive Park

Catalina Casino Dive Park is open to the sea from the **NNW–SE**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions.

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

The water is warm to about 39 m.
