Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Bass Point Gravel Loader, conditions are not ideal for snorkeling or diving due to a 2.3-meter swell and strong southern winds at 36.7 km/h, creating significant surface chop. For the best experience this week, consider diving on Thursday or Friday, with more manageable swells around 1.7 meters. Despite moderate winds, these days offer improved conditions compared to the rest of the week. Saturday also presents a good opportunity with a 1.6-meter swell and easing winds. The ocean temperature is comfortable at 21.9-22.1°C, so a 3mm wetsuit should suffice for warmth. Avoid Tuesday and Wednesday, as swells exceed safe levels.

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.
