SEA STATE AND SWELL - Swell will reach highs of 7ft the next few days, Thursday onward will be a steady 2-4ft. From our recent storm this weekend, visibility is ultimately nil, the sea state is looking calm but for diving in our Southern coastline it is poor .

SWELL - 1 - 7foot

TIDES

Visibility - 0 - 1 meters

Great sea conditions this week but thanks to storm Callum and big swell, entries and exits will be a challenge. Along with poor visibility dive conditions this week are poor. Therefore if you head to West Wales you might be in for a better chance. If not you could always head inland where you are almost guaranteed a dive.
