Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today at Fish Rock, conditions aren’t ideal for snorkeling or diving due to high winds at 41.4 km/h and moderate 1.8-meter swells. The ocean temperature is a comfortable 27.3°C, so there’s no need for a wetsuit. Friday and Saturday bring larger swells over 2.8 meters, combined with strong winds, making them days to avoid. Sunday offers the best conditions with lower 1.5-meter swells and manageable wind speeds, suitable for a dive. For the rest of the week, although ocean temperatures remain warm, be cautious of wind speeds exceeding 30 km/h, which may create surface chop.

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.
