Conditions at Castor Wreck

Castor Wreck is open to the sea from the N–S, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the WSW–NW.

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 28 °C at the surface and stays warm past 56 m, so a rash guard or 1–2 mm 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: 21.5 km of open waterNNE: open sea (over 200 km)NE: open sea (over 200 km)ENE: open sea (over 200 km)E: open sea (over 200 km)ESE: open sea (over 200 km)SE: 109.9 km of open waterSSE: open sea (over 200 km)S: open sea (over 200 km)SSW: 7.1 km of open waterSW: 3.1 km of open waterWSW: 2.2 km of open waterW: 1.9 km of open waterWNW: 2.0 km of open waterNW: 2.4 km of open waterNNW: 3.7 km of open waterNESW
