Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Little Bay, the conditions are marginally suitable for diving and snorkeling, with a swell height of 2.9 meters and moderate easterly winds at 15.5 km/h, which could cause some surface chop. Ocean temperature is 24.6°C, so no wetsuit is required. The best conditions this week are on Friday, with calmer swell at 1.9 meters and winds at 19.1 km/h from the south. Avoid Saturday and Monday as winds above 29 km/h could create challenging conditions, and swells stay above 2.5 meters. Overall, Friday appears to offer the most pleasant conditions for water activities.

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.
