Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today, conditions in Squid Bay aren’t ideal for snorkeling or diving, with a swell height of 2.9 meters and moderate winds at 15.5 km/h from the east. The upcoming weekend improves for these activities, particularly on Friday with a calmer swell of 1.9 meters and winds decreasing slightly to 19.1 km/h, albeit from the south. Saturday looks unfavorable due to high winds at 29.9 km/h. The ocean temperature remains warm at around 24.5°C, so a shorty wetsuit is sufficient. For calmer experiences and clearer visibility, Friday stands out as the best day, whereas Saturday and Monday should be avoided due to higher winds.

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.
