Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today in Chowder Bay, conditions are less favorable for snorkeling and diving with a swell of 2.4 meters from the SSE and strong winds at 30.2 km/h from the south, which can create choppy waters. Ocean temperature is a moderate 21.6°C, suitable for a 3mm wetsuit to stay comfortable. Looking ahead, Thursday to Saturday offers the best conditions for water activities, with the swell reducing to 1.9 meters and slightly calmer wind speeds, especially on Wednesday and Saturday. Avoid venturing out on Tuesday and Thursday due to high wind speeds and swells, which could make the conditions challenging.

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.
