Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today’s conditions at Bare Island feature a significant swell height of 2.3 meters and moderate winds from the ESE at 23.4 km/h, creating surface chop that could hinder snorkeling or diving. The ocean temperature is comfortable at 23°C, making a thin wetsuit optional. For optimal conditions, consider Friday and Saturday, with reduced swells around 1.7-1.8 meters and manageable winds. Avoid Sunday and Monday due to high swells over 3.7 meters and strong winds exceeding 37 km/h from the SSW, which could lead to dangerous conditions. Tuesday offers calmer seas again, suitable for a dive or snorkel.

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.
