Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Gordons Bay, conditions for diving and snorkeling are challenging with a swell height of 1.6 meters and strong winds at 36 km/h from the northeast, potentially creating significant surface chop. Ocean temperatures around 22.7°C suggest a shorty wetsuit could be adequate for comfort. Looking ahead, Wednesday presents the best conditions with reduced swell height of 1.3 meters and manageable wind speeds of 24.8 km/h, offering a window of calmness. Avoid diving on Friday with a swell height increasing to 2.0 meters alongside brisk southern winds, creating 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.
