Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Bass Point Gravel Loader, conditions include a 2.9m swell and 14.4 km/h winds from the southeast, making it less than ideal for snorkeling or diving. For the upcoming days, Friday and Tuesday look the best for water activities with swells decreasing to 1.8m and 1.7m, respectively, and more manageable wind speeds of 21.2 km/h and 28.8 km/h. Winds on Saturday through Monday reach speeds above 30 km/h, creating surface chop that divers and snorkelers should avoid. Ocean temperatures staying around 23°C mean that only a thin wetsuit, if any, is necessary.

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.
