Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Bass Point Gravel Loader, conditions are challenging for snorkeling or diving due to high winds at 39.6 km/h from the NE, which can create significant surface chop, combined with a moderate swell of 1.4 meters from the ENE. For more favorable conditions, look to Wednesday when the swell drops to 1.0 meters and the wind speed lowers to 25.2 km/h. The ocean temperature remains comfortable around 23°C, so a light wetsuit should suffice. Avoid snorkeling on Friday and Saturday as swells increase to 1.6 and 1.7 meters, respectively.

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.
