Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Blenheim Beach, the ocean temperature is a comfortable 22.6°C, allowing for pleasant snorkeling or diving; a shorty wetsuit should suffice. However, with a swell height of 3.1 meters and a wind speed of 16.6 km/h from the SSW, expect some surface chop, making conditions less than ideal. Look forward to Friday and Sunday with reduced swells around 1.8 to 1.9 meters and mild winds, perfect for underwater activities. Avoid Saturday through Monday, as increased winds and higher swells may create challenging and potentially unsafe conditions.

Diving Forecast
These are the reefranger ratings for the next 7 days. Ratings are available for the morning, low tide, and high tide. Tides are shown during the daytime (6am to 8pm). Ratings currently take into account Swell Height, Swell Direction, and location exposure based on swell direction versus the orientation of the site.
Scores reflect the ocean conditions in the 2 hours between 8am and 10am, and consider local heavy rainfall in the period prior.

Model
Swell and wind impact diving suitability, but not all swells and winds are equal. A dive site may be protected from wind and swell by nearby geography. The model uses these exposure ratings to determine how much impact a wind and swell will have on the dive site, based on the origin of the winds or waves.
