Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today, conditions at Little Bay are unfavorable for snorkeling or diving due to high swells of 3.4 meters and strong southern winds reaching 53.6 km/h, creating significant surface chop. As the week progresses, conditions improve, particularly from Saturday onwards, when swells drop below 2 meters and wind speeds decrease to more manageable levels. Sunday to Tuesday looks the best, with swells around 1.2-1.3 meters and milder winds, making it ideal for underwater activities. With ocean temperatures at 22.7°C, a 3mm wetsuit would provide comfortable protection for extended water activities. Avoid Wed and Thu, focus on calm weekend 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.
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.
