Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at North Rock, conditions are rough for snorkeling and diving with swell heights at 2.2 meters and strong SSW winds at 40.3 km/h causing surface chop. The ocean temperature is a warm 24.8°C, so no wetsuit is needed for comfort. For the best underwater experience, aim for Sunday or Tuesday when swells drop to 1.5 and 1.6 meters respectively, with reduced winds providing calmer waters. Avoid participating on Friday and Monday as swell and wind conditions will be particularly challenging. Always prioritize safety and consider postponing if conditions are not ideal.

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.
