Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today’s conditions at Little Bay feature a swell height of 2.3 meters and strong easterly winds at 25.9 km/h, making it less ideal for snorkeling or diving due to potential surface chop. The ocean temperature is a comfortable 23.5°C, not requiring a wetsuit. For a more favorable experience, aim for Friday and Saturday when the swell decreases to 1.8 meters and winds ease slightly, providing smoother surface conditions. Avoid Sunday and Monday, as both high swell and strong winds create rough and challenging waters. Consider avoiding Wednesday as well, with the swell rising dramatically to 5.5 meters.

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.
