Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today at Little Congwong, the swell is moderate at 1.6 meters from the NE, with a strong NE wind at 36.4 km/h, leading to surface chop—conditions are not ideal for snorkeling or diving. Ocean temperatures are relatively warm at 22.7°C, so a shorty wetsuit would suffice. For calmer waters, consider Wednesday, when swell height drops to 1.3 meters from the ENE and wind speed decreases to 26.3 km/h, providing potentially better diving conditions. Avoid Tuesday and Friday, as they feature higher swells around 2 meters and strong winds, creating challenging conditions for underwater activities.

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.
