Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today’s conditions at Bare Island are challenging for diving and snorkeling, with a swell height of 1.6 meters and strong winds from the northeast at 36.4 km/h, creating considerable surface chop. The ocean temperature is 22.7°C, which is comfortable but might still require a light wetsuit for prolonged exposure. Midweek offers the best conditions, particularly on Wednesday, when swells decrease to 1.3 meters and winds subside to 26.3 km/h from the northeast, reducing chop and making it ideal for underwater activities. Avoid Friday, as the swell increases to 2.0 meters. Plan accordingly for safer and more enjoyable dives.

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.
