Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today’s conditions at Chowder Bay are not ideal for snorkeling or diving, with 2.3-meter swells and 21.6 km/h easterly winds creating surface chop. The ocean temperature of 23.3°C is comfortable, allowing for thinner wetsuits. Conditions on Friday and Saturday are better, with reduced swells of 1.7 to 1.8 meters and manageable northeast winds, making these days the best for underwater activities. Avoid diving on Sunday and Monday due to high swells rising to 3.7 to 3.9 meters and strong southerly winds. Tuesday offers moderate conditions with 1.9-meter swells but watch for winds up to 24.1 km/h.

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.
