Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Freshwater Beach, conditions aren’t ideal for snorkeling or diving due to a 2.4m swell from the SSE and 30.2 km/h winds from the south, which could create surface chop. For the week, the best days are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, with lower swells of 1.9m consistently from the SSE and manageable winds, making the water calmer and safer. Ocean temperatures will remain at 21.6°C, comfortable but may require a 3mm wetsuit for prolonged activities. Avoid Tuesday and Wednesday as swells and winds are higher, increasing surface conditions that are unsuitable for safe snorkeling and diving.

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.
