Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Bare Island, the conditions aren’t ideal for snorkeling or diving, with a swell height of 2.4 meters and strong southern winds at 36.7 km/h creating significant surface chop. For the rest of the week, Thursday to Saturday looks more favorable with lower swell heights of 1.9 meters, although wind speeds remain high, especially on Thursday. Fortunately, warmer ocean temperatures around 22.5°C to 22.7°C mean a wetsuit isn’t necessary, but a shorty wetsuit could enhance comfort. Wednesday, with a slightly reduced swell and winds shifting southwest, might also offer a window of opportunity to get into the water with some caution.

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.
