Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today in Chowder Bay, conditions are marginal for snorkeling and diving with a 2.9m SE swell and 15.8 km/h E wind. Ocean temperature at 24.4°C suggests a shorty wetsuit could be enough for comfort. Friday looks ideal with a lower swell of 1.9m and moderate 18.7 km/h ENE winds, making it the best day for snorkeling and diving. Saturday and Monday should be avoided due to high wind speeds of 27.4 km/h and 29.9 km/h respectively, creating likely surface chop. Keep an eye on swells over the weekend, as they remain relatively high throughout.

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.
