Saturday, Nov 23: Wave energy below 2500 kJ, with breaking wave heights between 1-2 ft—ideal for launching and underwater stability. Winds under 15 knots by 7 a.m. with clear skies and stable weather make for perfect diving conditions.

Sunday, Nov 24: Wave energy steady at 2000 kJ, and breaking waves are 1-2 ft. Light winds under 10 knots, and sunny weather provide excellent visibility for diving.

Monday, Nov 25: Wave energy under 2700 kJ, breaking waves at 2 ft, with mild surface bumps. Winds near 12 knots ensure manageable conditions for divers.

Tuesday, Nov 26: Wave energy near 3000 kJ, breaking wave heights at 2-3 ft, creating some surface chop. Winds under 15 knots, with overcast skies, allow for diveable conditions despite bumpy launches.

Wednesday, Nov 27: Wave energy peaks over 3000 kJ, with 3 ft breaking waves. Winds reach 20-25 knots early, and overcast skies with rain make launching unsafe, with significant underwater surge expected.

Thursday, Nov 28: Wave energy and breaking waves remain high at 3 ft. Winds exceed 25 knots from the morning, and rain with thunderstorms creates unstable and unsafe conditions.

Friday, Nov 29: Wave energy drops slightly, but 2-3 ft waves and winds of 20-25 knots under cloudy skies suggest delaying diving. Visibility may improve if weather stabilizes.
