Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today at Bass Point Gravel Loader, expect a moderate swell of 1.5 meters from the southeast with strong winds at 26.3 km/h from the west-northwest. This makes conditions less ideal for snorkeling or diving. The best day this week appears to be Monday, with a smaller 0.9-meter swell and lower winds at 21.2 km/h, offering calm conditions. Avoid Tuesday and Thursday due to high swells over 2 meters and strong winds, making the water choppy and challenging. Ocean temperatures hover around 18.7°C, so a 5mm wetsuit is recommended for 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.
