Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today’s conditions at Shark Net Beach are rough, with a swell height of 2.9 meters and strong southern winds at 41.4 km/h, creating significant surface chop. It’s best to avoid snorkeling or diving today. As the week progresses, Sunday stands out as the best day for underwater activities, with a relatively low swell of 1.4 meters and moderate winds from the SSE at 28.1 km/h. Ocean temperatures hover around 22°C, so a 3mm wetsuit is recommended for comfort. Avoid Monday, as swells increase to 2.7 meters with brisk northeasterly 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.
