Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Kurnell and Silver Beach, conditions are challenging for snorkelers and divers due to high swells of 2.9 meters and strong winds at 47.5 km/h from the south, generating substantial surface chop. Ocean temperature is 22.5°C, comfortable for diving but you might consider a 3mm wetsuit for prolonged exposure. The best conditions for diving are on Sunday, with lower swells of 1.5 meters and moderate winds, offering safer and more enjoyable experiences. Swell heights remain manageable through the weekend, so plan your diving adventures accordingly to optimize visibility and safety.

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.
