Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today’s conditions at The Gutter, Bass Point, with a swell height of 3.0 meters and strong southerly winds at 51.8 km/h, make it unfavorable for both snorkeling and diving. The sea will likely be quite choppy. However, conditions significantly improve from Saturday onwards, with swell heights dropping to 1.8 meters and winds easing to 18.4 km/h. Sunday and Monday present the best opportunities, with calm seas and manageable conditions, especially suitable for less experienced snorkelers and divers. With ocean temperatures around 21.8°C, a 3mm wetsuit is recommended for added warmth and comfort.

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.
