Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Shark Net Beach, conditions are quite challenging for snorkeling and diving, with a swell of 2.8 meters and strong southerly winds at 34.2 km/h causing surface chop. The ocean temperature is moderate at 21.5°C, so a 3mm wetsuit is recommended for comfort. The midweek conditions improve slightly on Wednesday, with a more manageable swell of 1.9 meters and reduced easterly winds at 22.7 km/h, making it the best day for water activities. Avoid Thursday as both wind and swells are high. Keep an eye on conditions improving towards the weekend, particularly on Friday or Saturday when the swell height and wind speed lessen.

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.
