Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Freshwater Beach, the conditions are less than ideal for snorkeling or diving, with moderate swells of 1.6m from the NE and stronger winds at 33.8 km/h, which could create surface choppiness. The ocean temperature is fairly comfortable at 22.6°C, so a thin wetsuit would suffice if you do venture out. Looking ahead, Wednesday seems to be the best day for underwater activities, with the smallest swell of 1.3m and lighter winds at 23.8 km/h from the NE. Avoid Friday, as swells reach 2.0m with brisk winds, making conditions challenging. The rest of the week maintains moderate 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.
