Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today, conditions at Malabar Beach are not ideal for snorkeling or diving, with a high swell of 2.9 meters and strong winds at 47.2 km/h, both from the south. Expect a choppy surface, which could compromise safety. The ocean temperature is 22.5°C, so a 3mm wetsuit is advised for thermal comfort. The best day for underwater activities appears to be Sunday, with a smaller swell of 1.5 meters and calmer winds from the ENE at 29.5 km/h. Conditions remain relatively mild for the rest of the week, but prioritize safety and comfort by checking updated forecasts before heading out.

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.
