Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at The Gutter, Bass Point, the ocean temperature is a fresh 18.7°C, suitable for a 3-5mm wetsuit. With a moderate 1.5m SE swell and WNW winds at 26.3 km/h, conditions are fair but not ideal for snorkeling or diving. The best snorkeling days are Monday and Wednesday, with swells easing to 0.9m and 1.6m and winds dropping to 21.2 km/h and 25.2 km/h, respectively. Avoid Tuesday and Thursday due to high swells over 2m and strong winds above 36 km/h, which could compromise safety and visibility.

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.
