Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Kurnell and Silver Beach, ocean conditions are not ideal for snorkeling or diving, with a swell height of 1.7 meters and strong NE winds at 30.6 km/h creating surface chop. Ocean temperatures are comfortable at 22.3°C, so a light wetsuit is optional. Swell and wind conditions will be more challenging on Monday and Tuesday, with swells over 2 meters and wind speeds exceeding 35 km/h. However, Wednesday offers a better opportunity, with winds easing to 23 km/h. For the upcoming week, Thursday looks promising with swells reducing to 1.8 meters and moderate wind.

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.
