Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today, Thursday, at Fairlight Beach, the conditions are not ideal for snorkeling or diving, with a swell height of 2.3 meters and wind speeds of 21.6 km/h that might create some surface chop. The ocean temperature at 23.3°C is comfortable, so no wetsuit is necessary. For optimal conditions, consider heading out on Friday or Saturday, with swells easing to around 1.7–1.8 meters and winds slightly calming, making it safer and more enjoyable. Avoid Sunday and Monday due to high swell heights and strong winds, which make conditions hazardous.

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.
