## Conditions at Million Dollar Point

Million Dollar Point is open to the sea from the **ENE–E**, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the WNW–NE.

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

When it's rough here, try [SS President Coolidge](https://scubaforecast.com/scuba-diving-weather/vanuatu/sanma/luganville/ss-president-coolidge) (1.5 km, sheltered from the ENE).

The water is warm to about 9 m.
