Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Shelly Beach, the ocean temperature is 21.6°C, suitable for a thin wetsuit if you prefer to stay warm. However, the conditions aren’t ideal due to a 1.7 meter swell from the SSE and strong ENE winds at 28.8 km/h, which could create surface chop. Try to avoid Monday and Tuesday, as swells reach 2.3 to 3.0 meters with high wind speeds, making them unsuitable for snorkelers and divers. Wednesday and Saturday offer better prospects with calmer winds and moderate swells, making them the best days to explore underwater this week.

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.
