Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today’s conditions at Squid Bay suggest caution due to a swell height of 1.7 meters and strong ENE winds at 30.2 km/h, creating moderate surface chop. Ocean temperature stands at a mild 21.7°C, suitable for a 3mm wetsuit. For better snorkeling and diving conditions, Wednesday appears favorable with reduced wind speeds of 23 km/h and a consistent ocean temperature, even though swells remain at 3.0 meters. Be cautious on Monday with the highest wind speed at 46.1 km/h, likely making the sea rough. Thursday offers another good opportunity as swells decrease to 1.8 meters.

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.
