Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today, snorkeling and diving at Murrays Beach may be challenging due to a 3.1-meter swell and a 16.6 km/h southerly wind, creating surface chop. Tomorrow, Friday, conditions improve with lower swells at 1.8 meters and moderate winds; an ideal day for underwater activities. Saturday’s increasing wind of 30.6 km/h suggests choppy waters; diving is not recommended. Sunday is favorable again with a 1.9-meter swell and moderate winds. Avoid Monday’s 37.1 km/h winds. The ocean temperature of 23.1°C is comfortable, allowing for shorty wetsuits if preferred. Overall, aim for Friday or Sunday for the best conditions this week.

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.
