Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today at Stingray Bay, the ocean temperature is a brisk 16.9°C, so a 5mm wetsuit is advisable to stay warm. Swell is moderate at 2.1 meters from the SSW, with NW winds at 17.3 km/h, creating manageable conditions for snorkeling and diving. This Friday also presents favorable conditions with similar swells and slightly increased winds, but still manageable. However, avoid Saturday and Sunday due to higher swells of 2.9 meters and strong winds exceeding 28 km/h, which will cause significant surface chop, making it unsafe for water activities.

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.
