Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today, snorkeling or diving at Gordons Bay is not advisable due to high swells of 3.4 meters and strong winds at 53.6 km/h from the south, which can create choppy conditions. As the week progresses, conditions improve, with Saturday showing promise as swells decrease to 1.9 meters and winds ease to 22.3 km/h from the SSE. Sunday and Monday are ideal for water activities, with swells around 1.2-1.3 meters and manageable winds. Ocean temperatures remain warm at 22.5°C, so no wetsuit is needed. Focus on the weekend for the best experience in the water.

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.
