## Conditions at Elevated Pipe

Elevated Pipe is open to the sea from the **S–WNW**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the NNE–ESE.

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 stays warm past 29 m.
