Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Chowder Bay, the swell is at 1.6 meters from the NE, with strong NE winds at 33.8 km/h, creating challenging surface conditions. Ocean temperature is 22.6°C, so a short or sleeveless wetsuit should suffice. For better snorkeling and diving conditions, aim for Wednesday with a reduced swell of 1.3 meters and moderate NE winds at 23.8 km/h, offering calmer waters. Avoid Friday due to high swells of 2.0 meters and choppy seas from strong winds at 31.3 km/h. Plan your adventures accordingly for the best underwater experience.

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.
