## Conditions at Marineland Platform

Marineland Platform 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 WNW–ENE.

Over the next 7 days no day looks good: Sat, Sun, Mon and Tue are a no-go (waves and surge). Wed, Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water is warm to about 52 m.
