Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today at Shark Point, the swell is quite high at 2.9 meters with strong southerly winds at 47.2 km/h, creating rough seas that aren’t ideal for snorkeling or diving. As the week progresses, conditions improve, especially on Sunday with a swell dropping to 1.5 meters and moderate winds from the east-northeast at 29.5 km/h, making it the best day for underwater activities. Ocean temperatures are mild around 22.4°C, so wearing a 3mm wetsuit should be comfortable if you plan to be in the water for extended periods. Avoid heading out on windy days to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

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.
