Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Little Bay, conditions are less than ideal for snorkeling and diving. High swells of 2.9 meters and strong winds at 47.2 km/h from the south are likely to create significant surface chop, making it challenging and potentially unsafe for underwater activities. Over the weekend, conditions improve significantly, especially on Sunday, with reduced swells at 1.5 meters and milder winds. Saturday and Sunday are the best days for snorkeling or diving, with Sunday looking particularly favorable. Ocean temperatures at 22.5°C are mild, so no wetsuit is necessary for comfort, though a shorty could provide added protection.

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.
