The weather ahead is also volatile but not as severe but the land is saturated so any rain fall will be damaging.

The other factor this week is the wind again generally 40 mph winds from the West continuously this week.

High winds, big swells, choppy seas, stormy conditions and overall severe weather means that scuba diving in the South Wales region will be unsuitable definitely for the next few days at least. The visibility will also be down to very low and the water temperature is also at its lowest. Stay out of the sea for the next few days and head off to the inland sites for the better Scuba diving next to Cardiff, Swansea, Newport and the surrounding areas.
