Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today at Bare Island, conditions are challenging for snorkelers and divers with high swells of 3.4 meters from the south and strong winds at 54.7 km/h. It’s best to avoid entering the water. As the week progresses, conditions improve significantly. By Saturday, swells decrease to 1.9 meters with lighter winds at 22.3 km/h, and from Sunday onwards, swells drop to a safer 1.3 meters or less. The consistent ocean temperature of 22.4°C is comfortable; however, a standard wetsuit could enhance comfort during longer dives. Plan your activities for Sunday or early next week for optimal conditions.

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.

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.
