Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today, with a swell of 1.8m from the SE and winds at 18.7 km/h from the WNW, conditions at Freshwater Beach are moderate for snorkeling or diving. Consider a wetsuit of at least 3mm to stay comfortable in the 18.5°C water. Sunday and Monday promise better conditions, with decreasing swell and wind—ideal for snorkeling. Avoid Tuesday and Thursday due to high swell and strong winds. These days pose challenges and potential danger, especially for less experienced individuals.

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.
