## Conditions at Wreck of the Rhone

Wreck of the Rhone is open to the sea from the **NNE, ESE–SSW, W**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the NE–E.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better every day. Wed, Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

When it's rough here, try [The Kodiak Queen](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/british-virgin-islands/virgin-gorda/virgin-gorda/the-kodiak-queen) (19 km, sheltered from the NNE, ESE–SSE).

The water stays warm past 47 m.
