Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Little Bay, the ocean temperature is a cool 19°C, so wearing a 3-4mm wetsuit is advisable. Swell is 1.7 meters, presenting moderate conditions for snorkelers and divers with a strong NNE wind at 32.8 km/h, causing surface chop. Avoid Sunday and Monday due to high swells exceeding 3 meters and strong winds above 48 km/h from the south. The best conditions are expected on Wednesday and Thursday, with swells returning to a manageable 1.7-1.8 meters and lighter winds below 27 km/h, providing calmer seas.

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.
