Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today at Kurnell and Silver Beach, the ocean temperature is a comfortable 24.4°C, but the swell height is 2.9 meters with 14.8 km/h easterly winds. This may result in uncomfortable conditions for snorkeling or diving. The rest of the week sees varying conditions. On Friday, lower swells at 1.9 meters with moderate winds make it a possible day for water activities. Saturday and Tuesday feature higher winds at over 30 km/h, creating potential surface chop, so they should be avoided. Overall, Friday seems to be the best bet for calmer conditions, but always be cautious of the wind and swell forecasts.

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.
