Conditions at Sheraton Caverns

Sheraton Caverns 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–E.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better on Sat, Mon and Tue. 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 NW–E: land blocks the waves.

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