Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today’s conditions at Gordons Bay are challenging with high winds at 36.7 km/h from the south and swell heights at 2.3 meters, making it less than ideal for snorkeling and diving. The ocean temperature is a comfortable 22°C, requiring only a thin wetsuit if any. As the week progresses, Sunday stands out as the best day for water activities with gentle 1.0-meter swells from the east and reduced winds at 27.4 km/h from the ENE. Avoid Tuesday through Thursday due to heightened swells and strong winds. Always exercise caution and prioritize safety.

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.
