Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today at Fish Rock, ocean temperatures are pleasant at 24.4°C, but with a high swell of 2.7 meters and strong ESE winds at 31.7 km/h, it’s best for snorkelers and divers to avoid the water due to rough conditions. Consider opting for a short wetsuit to stay comfortable in the water. The weekend promises better conditions, with Friday and Saturday offering reduced swell heights of 2.1 meters and calmer winds, making these the ideal days for underwater adventures. Be cautious on Monday with swells reaching 3.7 meters and strong winds, making it unsuitable for diving or snorkeling.

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.
