Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today’s conditions at Shark Point feature a swell of 2.9 meters and winds at 15.5 km/h from the east, making it less ideal for snorkeling or diving. Swell and wind peak on Monday with heights of 2.7 meters and winds at 33.5 km/h, presenting potentially challenging conditions. However, Friday looks promising for water activities with a reduced swell of 1.9 meters and moderate winds at 19.1 km/h from the south. Ocean temperatures around 24.5°C are pleasant, so a 3mm wetsuit will suffice. Emphasize caution and avoid Saturday and Monday due to higher winds and swells.

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.
