The sea is about 4°C in February, its coldest month (drysuit), and 19°C in August, its warmest (7 mm wetsuit and hood). For Open Water divers the best months are usually June and August, with about 7 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Dranske.

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.
