Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today, snorkeling or diving at Little Congwong is not ideal due to a swell height of 2.2 meters and an easterly wind at 23.4 km/h, which could cause surface chop. The ocean temperature at 23°C is quite comfortable, so a thin wetsuit should suffice. For the coming days, Friday presents the best conditions for water activities, with a slightly reduced swell of 1.8 meters and manageable winds. Sunday and Monday should be avoided, as high swells and strong winds, particularly on Monday, make conditions hazardous. The rest of the week shows some improvement, with Wednesday offering relatively safer conditions.

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.
