Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today’s conditions at Squid Bay pose some challenges for snorkelers and divers. With a swell height of 1.6 meters and a high wind speed of 36 km/h from the NE, expect substantial surface chop, making today less ideal. Wind and swell directions shift throughout the week, with the most favorable day looking like Wednesday, when the swell lowers to 1.3 meters and the wind speed drops to 24.8 km/h, offering calmer waters. Ocean temperatures are around 22.6-22.7°C, comfortable but close to the range where a thin wetsuit is advisable for extended dives. Avoid Friday as swells hit 2.0 meters with strong 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.
