Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today at Murrays Beach, conditions are rough with a south swell of 2.8 meters and strong southern winds at 37.8 km/h, creating significant surface chop. It’s best to avoid snorkeling or diving today. The good news is that Thursday and Friday look more promising with swells decreasing to 1.9 and 2.1 meters, although winds remain strong. Ocean temperatures hover around 21.9°C, so a 3mm wetsuit is recommended for extended dives to maintain warmth. The mid-week conditions on Wednesday also look better as winds ease to 22.7 km/h. Plan your dives thoughtfully and prioritize safety.

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.
