Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today in Squid Bay, conditions are borderline for snorkeling and diving, with a swell of 2.3 meters and windy conditions at 25.9 km/h creating surface chop. Ocean temperatures are at 23.3°C, so a thin wetsuit might be advisable to ensure comfort. The best days to explore the underwater world are Friday and Saturday, as swells drop to 1.8 meters, with relatively manageable winds around 22-23 km/h. Conditions deteriorate significantly on Sunday and Monday with increased swell heights and strong winds, making it less ideal for venturing out. Avoid Wednesday as swells peak at 5.5 meters and strong southerly winds create turbulent seas.

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.
