Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Bare Island, the ocean temperature is a comfortable 24.3°C, but with a swell height of 2.9 meters and easterly winds at 14.8 km/h, expect surface chop; snorkeling and diving might be less enjoyable today. The best days to hit the water are Friday and Sunday. On Friday, swells drop to 1.9 meters with moderate winds at 20.9 km/h, while Sunday has similar conditions but with slightly higher swells. Avoid diving on Saturday and Monday as stronger winds above 30 km/h will create rough conditions. A shorty 3mm wetsuit would suffice all week given the mild ocean temperature.

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.
