Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today’s conditions at Little Congwong feature high swells of 3.4 meters and strong winds at 54.7 km/h coming from the south, creating quite choppy waters—definitely not ideal for snorkeling or diving. As the week progresses, conditions improve significantly, with swells dropping to a preferable 1.2 meters by Monday and Tuesday, and wind speeds reducing to about 22.3 km/h, which should provide a calmer sea. The ocean temperature remains a comfortable 22.4°C throughout the week. For the best experience, target Sunday to Tuesday for your adventures. A short wetsuit is advisable given the water temperature.

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.
