Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today’s conditions at Little Bay are not ideal for snorkeling or diving, with high swell of 3.3 meters and strong winds at 46.8 km/h from the south, creating surface chop. As the week progresses, conditions improve significantly. Saturday to Wednesday see calmer waters with swells dropping to around 1.1 meters and wind speeds decreasing to less than 25 km/h, making these days suitable for snorkeling and diving. Water temperatures remain mild at 22.4°C, so a thin wetsuit or rash guard is recommended for extended sessions in the water. Overall, aim for the weekend or early next week for the best experience.

Diving Forecast
These are the reefranger ratings for the next 7 days. Ratings are available for the morning, low tide, and high tide. Tides are shown during the daytime (6am to 8pm). Ratings currently take into account Swell Height, Swell Direction, and location exposure based on swell direction versus the orientation of the site.
Scores reflect the ocean conditions in the 2 hours between 8am and 10am, and consider local heavy rainfall in the period prior.

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.
