Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at North Rock, conditions aren’t ideal for snorkeling or diving due to high wind speeds reaching 33.8 km/h and swells at 1.9 meters. The ocean temperature is a cooler 20.7°C, so a 5mm wetsuit is advisable. For the week ahead, Wednesday stands out as the best day, with calmer winds at 22 km/h and moderate swells. The weekend is also promising, especially Saturday, with swells dropping to 1.5 meters and manageable winds. Avoid Monday and Friday as strong winds exceed 39 km/h, creating surface chop and reducing visibility underwater.

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.
