Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today in Gordons Bay, conditions are challenging for snorkelers and divers with a 2.9m swell and moderate winds at 15.5 km/h. Ocean temperature is a comfortable 24.6°C, so no wetsuit is necessary for thermal protection. The best days for underwater activities appear to be Friday and Sunday, when swell height drops to 1.9m and 2.6m, respectively, with manageable wind speeds. Avoid Saturday and Monday, as Saturday’s high winds of 29.9 km/h and Monday’s even higher at 33.5 km/h could create considerable surface chop and challenging conditions. Always check local advisories before heading out.

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.
