Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Fish Rock, the conditions are not ideal for snorkeling or diving with 2.4-meter swells and strong winds at 45 km/h from the north-northeast, creating surface chop. Ocean temperatures around 21.5°C suggest a 3mm wetsuit for comfortable diving. The weekend remains unfavorable with high swells, especially on Sunday and Monday when they peak above 3.8 meters. Improved conditions are expected on Wednesday and Thursday with declining swells to 2.1 and 1.6 meters, respectively, and moderate winds, making these the best days for underwater activities. Avoid water activities during high swell days for safety.

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.
