Conditions at Miss Louise

Miss Louise 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 NW–ENE.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better every day. Wed, Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water is 22 °C at the surface and stays warm past 18 m, so a 5 mm wetsuit suits most dives.

Shelter

Open water in each direction from the site. Longer petals mean more open sea, so more exposure to wind waves and swell from that direction.N: 1.2 km of open waterNNE: 1.3 km of open waterNE: 1.6 km of open waterENE: 2.5 km of open waterE: 8.1 km of open waterESE: 71.7 km of open waterSE: open sea (over 200 km)SSE: open sea (over 200 km)S: open sea (over 200 km)SSW: open sea (over 200 km)SW: open sea (over 200 km)WSW: open sea (over 200 km)W: 48.1 km of open waterWNW: 3.9 km of open waterNW: 1.9 km of open waterNNW: 1.4 km of open waterNESW

Open to ESE–W. Waves and swell from there reach the site.

Sheltered from NW–ENE: land blocks the waves.

Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.
