About Cape Wolfe Rock

A reef dive. It goes down to 28 m. You get in from a boat. It suits experienced divers only, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces NW: swell from the NW reaches it, and wind from the SE blows out to sea. No dive centre within 50 km on the map: book a liveaboard or a boat from further off. The sea is about -1°C in January, its coldest month (drysuit), and 20°C in August, its warmest (7 mm wetsuit and hood). For experienced divers the best months are usually January, February, March and April, with about 7 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. No stay checked for this site yet: Cape Wolfe, 0 km away, is the nearest town we list. Nearest airport: YQM (YQM), 70 km.

Day scores are the conditions out of 80, from the two best daylight readings: a morning and an afternoon dive. Sea is the open water's waves near the site, in metres, halved for a sheltered site. Wind and gusts are in knots (10 kn is about 19 km/h); "boats in" marks gusts that keep dive boats in. This week's visibility, the current and the life no free forecast gives.
