WIND - Mixed bag for the week ahead, Most the week will be Easterly winds up to 28 mph and feeling fresh and cold. The strongest winds from the East will be on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday and may see strong Southerly winds on Thursday.

SEA STATE and SWELL - West and South facing areas should see strong offshore winds and calmer sea states for the next few days while the wind is Easterly. As winds turn Southerly sea state could get choppier and more volatile in the region but generally still sea state inshore but may be choppier in the mid channel especially as the winds turn Southerly.

SCUBA DIVING CONDITIONS REPORT FOR CARDIFF, SWANSEA, NEWPORT, SOUTH WALES AREA

Easterly winds for another week accross South Wales creating good clean entrance and exit points on Westerly facing beaches and good inshore conditions for diving. Possibly diving areas in Swansea, Llanelli and towards camarthenshire. The winds are cold so need to assess thermal protection, dry suits and training required through the PADI Dry Suit course. Also levels of experience are required preferably to a PADI Rescue diver or PADI Dive master. Visability is low due to the constant swell so more a training dive situation than one with great visability.
