Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Bare Island, conditions are challenging for snorkeling and diving, with high swells at 3.2 meters and strong winds of 39.2 km/h from the south. Expect significant surface chop. For the best conditions this week, plan to go out on Sunday when the swells are lowest at 1.5 meters and winds moderate to 23.8 km/h, though still from the south. Ocean temperatures are fairly comfortable at 22.4°C, but a 3mm wetsuit could enhance comfort, especially on windier days. Avoid Wednesday and Thursday due to high swells and stronger winds, which could make conditions unsafe.

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.
