Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today’s conditions at Little Congwong are not ideal for snorkeling or diving, with swells at 2.3 meters and strong southern winds at 36.7 km/h creating surface chop. Swell heights peak on Tuesday and Wednesday at 3.0 meters, which should be avoided. Winds remain high throughout the week, particularly on Thursday when they hit 38.5 km/h. The best day looks to be Thursday with a slightly lower swell of 1.8 meters and a northeastern wind direction providing some respite. Ocean temperatures are around 22.5°C; a 3mm wetsuit should suffice for comfort. Friday and Saturday still have high winds, so caution is advised.

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.
