Conditions at YDT 15 – USS Suitland

YDT 15 – USS Suitland is open to the sea from the all directions, 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 25 °C at the surface and stays warm past 25 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: 26.6 km of open waterNNE: 31.7 km of open waterNE: 46.7 km of open waterENE: 83.1 km of open waterE: 143.1 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: open sea (over 200 km)W: open sea (over 200 km)WNW: 49.1 km of open waterNW: 33.5 km of open waterNNW: 27.5 km of open waterNESW
