Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today in Gordon’s Bay, conditions are unfavorable for snorkeling or diving with a 2.4-meter swell from the southeast and strong winds at 36.7 km/h from the south, creating surface chop. Ocean temperatures are mild at 22°C, suggesting a thin wetsuit if you’re venturing out. For calmer seas, aim for Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, when swells drop to 1.9 meters, although windy conditions persist. Wednesday sees reduced winds at 21.6 km/h and swells at 3.0 meters, making it a potential option if you prefer midweek diving. Avoid Tuesday with high swells and strong winds.

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.
