Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today’s conditions at Kurnell and Silver Beach have a swell of 1.8 meters from the southeast and winds at 20.2 km/h from the WNW, making it manageable for more experienced snorkelers and divers with proper precautions. Ocean temperatures at 18.4°C suggest a 5mm wetsuit for comfort. The best conditions of the week look to be on Monday, with a reduced swell of 1.2 meters and moderate winds, ideal for most skill levels. Avoid Tuesday and Thursday, as high swells over 2.5 meters and strong winds could pose risks. The weather remains mostly consistent in terms of temperature.

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.
