Conditions at Ledges of Little St James
Ledges of Little St James is open to the sea from the SE–W, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the E–ESE, NW–NNE.
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 30 °C at the surface and stays warm past 29 m, so a rash guard or 1–2 mm suits most dives.
Shelter
Open to SE–W. Waves and swell from there reach the site.
Sheltered from E–ESE, NW–NNE: land blocks the waves.
Computed from the OpenStreetMap coastline. Wind itself is not reduced by shelter.
