Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Little Bay, the swell is moderate at 1.8 meters from the SE, with gusty WNW winds at 22 km/h. The ocean temperature is a chilly 18.7°C, so a 5mm wetsuit is advisable. Sunday and Monday offer the best conditions for snorkeling and diving, with lower swells of 1.4 and 1.2 meters and manageable winds from the NNW and NW. Avoid Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday due to high swells over 2.5 meters and strong winds, making conditions challenging. Overall, early in the week is ideal, but ensure adequate protection against the cold water temperatures.

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.
