Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today’s conditions at Little Bay are not ideal for snorkeling or diving, with swells at 2.4 meters and strong southerly winds at 36.7 km/h, creating considerable surface chop. Ocean temperature is 22.2°C, so a thin wetsuit is recommended. For calmer waters, Wednesday looks more promising, with swells reducing to 3.0 meters and wind easing to 21.6 km/h from the southwest. Thursday through Saturday also offer better conditions with swells dropping further to 1.9 meters, though strong southerly winds persist. Overall, aim for mid-week or later when conditions improve for underwater activities.

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.
