Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today’s conditions at Abrahams Bosom pose challenges due to a 3.1m swell and winds at 16.9 km/h from the south, creating surface chop. For warmer waters at 23.6°C, a shorty wetsuit would suffice, but today isn’t ideal for snorkeling or diving. Friday and Sunday offer better conditions, with swell heights reducing to around 1.8m and 1.9m, and wind speeds decreasing on Friday to 19.8 km/h, though still moderate, from the east. Avoid diving on Saturday and Monday due to stronger winds up to 36.0 km/h, which will likely deteriorate the water surface conditions. Opt for early morning dives when the wind is calmer.

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.

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.
