Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Fairlight Beach, the ocean temperature is around 22.6°C, which is generally comfortable but might still warrant a shorty wetsuit for extended snorkeling or diving sessions. Swell height is 1.6 meters with a strong northeasterly wind at 33.8 km/h, which may create some surface chop and reduce visibility. For better conditions, consider Wednesday, when the swell drops to 1.3 meters and the wind calms to 23.8 km/h, making it the best day for snorkeling or diving this week. Avoid Friday, with a swell height of 2.0 meters and strong southerly wind, which could 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.
