Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today in Squid Bay, conditions are not ideal for snorkeling or diving, with high swells at 3.4 meters and strong winds at 53.6 km/h creating significant surface chop. For better conditions, look to the weekend; Saturday sees swells dropping to 1.9 meters and winds calming to 22.3 km/h, making it a much better choice for underwater activities. Sunday and Monday promise even gentler conditions with swells at around 1.2-1.3 meters. The ocean temperature is a mild 22.7°C, comfortable enough for a shorty wetsuit, but an extra layer might be pleasant for longer dives. Avoid any underwater activities until the weekend for safer and more enjoyable experiences.

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.
