Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today, conditions at Malabar Beach are not ideal for snorkeling or diving due to 2.4-meter swells and strong 36.7 km/h southerly winds, which could create rough surface conditions. For the rest of the week, Thursday to Saturday looks more promising with swells dropping to 1.9 meters and moderate wind speeds around 36 km/h or less, although Thursday’s northeast winds might still stir things up. Ocean temperatures are mild at about 22.2°C – 22.4°C, so a 3mm wetsuit should suffice for comfort. Avoid snorkeling or diving on Tuesday and Thursday, where high swells above 3 meters and significant winds are expected.

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.
