Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today in Little Congwong, the swells are quite high at 2.9 meters with strong southerly winds at 47.5 km/h, making conditions challenging for snorkeling and diving. The water temperature is a comfortable 22.5°C, so no wetsuit is necessary.

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.
