Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today, conditions at Fish Rock are moderate with a swell height of 1.6 meters and a wind speed of 22.7 km/h from the NE. The ocean temperature of 26.2°C is ideal for diving or snorkeling without a wetsuit. The best days for underwater activities this week are Tuesday and Wednesday, when swell heights drop to 1.4 meters and winds are calmer at around 20-21 km/h, reducing surface chop. Friday and Saturday should be avoided due to high winds above 29 km/h, which could create choppy surface conditions and affect visibility for divers and snorkelers.

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.
