Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today at Fish Rock, conditions are challenging for snorkeling and diving, with a swell height of 2.4 meters and strong winds at 44.3 km/h from the north. These factors create choppy waters, making it less than ideal for underwater activities. Later in the week, Friday and Saturday look promising with swells dropping to 1.9 and 1.8 meters respectively, and more manageable wind speeds. The ocean temperature remains a comfortable 25.2°C, so a light wetsuit should suffice. To maximize your experience, aim for the calmer days while avoiding the strong winds on Monday and Tuesday.

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.
