Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today, conditions at The Pinnacle are not ideal for snorkeling or diving, with a high swell of 2.7 meters and strong southern winds at 41 km/h, which could create significant surface chop. As the week progresses, conditions improve. Saturday and Sunday have swells of 2.0 meters with decreasing winds around 25.6 km/h and 22.3 km/h, making them better options for water activities. Monday and Tuesday offer the best conditions, with swells under 2 meters and moderate winds. The ocean temperature is a comfortable 22°C, so a shorty wetsuit should suffice. Avoid Thursday due to high swells and 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.
