Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today at The Gutter at Bass Point, conditions are challenging for snorkeling and diving due to a high swell of 2.4 meters and winds at 29.2 km/h from the SSE. These factors could produce rough surface conditions, making it unsafe. The ocean temperature is a warm 23.6°C, allowing for comfortable diving gear. The best days for underwater activities seem to be towards the end of the week, especially Friday, with a low swell of 0.7 meters and moderate winds at 19.4 km/h from the south. It’s advisable to wear light wetsuits throughout the week due to the warm water temperatures.

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.
