Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Stingray Bay, conditions aren’t ideal for snorkeling or diving, with a swell height of 2.5 meters and strong southerly winds at 37.4 km/h. The ocean temperature is a chilly 16.8°C, so a 5mm wetsuit is advisable. Swell heights increase significantly over the weekend, reaching 4.9 meters on Sunday and Monday, with strong winds creating surface chop—making these days best avoided. Wind speeds drop to 16.2 km/h by Tuesday, with a slightly decreased swell of 3.5 meters, which could provide a better opportunity, though still cautious, for more experienced divers with appropriate gear.

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.
