Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today, Fairlight Beach features a 1.8-meter southeast swell and 18.7 km/h wind from the WNW. It’s a bit choppy, but manageable for experienced snorkelers using thicker wetsuits. The best days this week for snorkeling are Sunday and Monday, with swells decreasing to 1.4 and 1.2 meters and winds calming to 14.4 and 13.3 km/h, respectively. Conditions on Tuesday and Thursday should be avoided due to high swells, reaching 2.6 and 2.7 meters, with strong winds. Overall, bring a 3-5mm wetsuit due to the cooler ocean temperatures around 18°C.

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.
