Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Fairlight Beach, conditions for snorkeling and diving aren’t ideal with a swell of 2.4 meters and brisk southerly winds at 30.2 km/h creating surface chop. The ocean temperature is 21.5°C, so a 3mm wetsuit is advisable for comfort. Mid-week sees improvements; Wednesday features lower winds at 20.9 km/h with a manageable 3.0-meter swell, making it one of the better days. Thursday and Friday also offer calmer conditions with swells easing to 1.9 meters, although Thursday’s winds pick up again. Avoid Tuesday and Thursday due to high winds over 30 km/h which can cause rough conditions.

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.
