Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today at Fish Rock, the swell height is 2.4 meters with a southerly wind at 21.2 km/h, creating choppy conditions, so snorkeling and diving might not be ideal. However, the ocean temperature is a warm 25.6°C, so no wetsuit is necessary. The best days for diving and snorkeling appear to be Friday and Saturday. Friday’s conditions improve with a swell height of 1.6 meters and wind speed easing to 17.6 km/h from the east-northeast, calming the surface. Avoid Sunday and Monday as winds increase to over 27 km/h, elevating 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.
