Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today at Shark Point, the ocean temperature is 22°C with a noticeable swell of 2.4 meters and strong south winds at 36.7 km/h. The high swells and strong winds may produce surface chop, so conditions are not ideal for snorkeling or diving today. For the week, Thursday and Friday offer the best conditions with swells reducing to 1.9 meters and the wind from the northeast on Thursday at 38.2 km/h. It’s still advisable to be cautious on days with strong winds. Temperatures remain consistent at 22°C, so a short wetsuit should suffice for comfort.

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.
