Conditions at Koloa Landing

Koloa Landing is open to the sea from the ESE–W, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions.

Over the next 7 days no day looks good. Wed, Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water is 26 °C at the surface and warm to about 50 m, so a 3 mm wetsuit suits most dives.

Shelter

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

Sheltered from WNW–E: land blocks the waves.

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