Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Shark Net Beach, conditions are not ideal for snorkeling or diving, with a swell height of 1.8 meters and strong NE winds at 38.2 km/h, generating surface chop. Ocean temperatures at 22.5°C suggest a 3mm wetsuit for comfort. Look forward to Wednesday for the best conditions this week; the swell drops to a more manageable 1.3 meters, and winds decrease to 28.1 km/h. Thursday and Friday are less ideal, with swells rising above 2 meters. For a pleasant experience, aim for midweek outings and avoid days with higher swells and strong winds.

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.
