Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Shark Point, conditions for snorkeling or diving are less than ideal with a 2.3-meter swell and a brisk 25.9 km/h wind from the east, likely causing surface chop. For a better experience, consider Friday or Saturday when swells drop to 1.8 meters and winds are more moderate, creating calmer conditions. Avoid Sunday and Monday due to higher swells and strong winds which could impact safety. The consistent ocean temperature around 23°C means a shorty wetsuit is advisable for comfort. Caution is urged on Wednesday with a significant swell increase to 5.5 meters.

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.
