Conditions at Three Coal Barges

Three Coal Barges is open to the sea from the E–W, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions.

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 22 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: 3.5 km of open waterNNE: 4.0 km of open waterNE: 5.7 km of open waterENE: 17.3 km of open waterE: 110.8 km of open waterESE: open sea (over 200 km)SE: 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: 183.6 km of open waterW: 25.0 km of open waterWNW: 12.3 km of open waterNW: 4.4 km of open waterNNW: 3.6 km of open waterNESW
