Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today in Gordons Bay, the ocean temperature is a comfortable 23.4°C, but with swells at 2.3 meters and winds at 25.9 km/h from the east, conditions are less than ideal for snorkeling or diving. The best days for water activities are Friday and Saturday. Swells drop to around 1.7-1.8 meters, and the wind speed decreases slightly, ensuring calmer waters. Avoid Sunday and Monday, as swells rise above 3.7 meters and winds exceed 37 km/h, creating rough and unsafe conditions. With ocean temperatures staying stable, a thin wetsuit should suffice for protection and comfort.

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.
