Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today at Murrays Beach, the ocean temperature is a comfortable 23.3°C, but with a swell height of 1.8 meters and a wind speed of 20.5 km/h from the NE, expect some surface chop, making conditions less ideal for snorkeling or diving. The best days to hit the water appear to be Friday and Saturday, with swells dropping to 1.5-1.7 meters and more manageable wind speeds. However, avoid Sunday and Monday, as swells peak at 2.9 and 3.8 meters with strong winds, creating potentially hazardous conditions. Consider a light wetsuit for comfort in the water this week.

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.
