Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today, Sunday, at Kirra Reef, the ocean temperature is a warm 26.6°C, suitable for minimal wetsuit use. However, with a swell of 1.6 meters and a wind speed of 28.1 km/h from the SSE, expect moderate surface chop, making conditions less than ideal for diving or snorkeling. For the upcoming week, Thursday and Friday offer the best conditions, with swells dropping to 1.6 meters and manageable wind speeds around 24 km/h. Avoid Saturday as swells increase to 2.1 meters, creating challenging conditions. Overall, prioritize mid-week outings for safer and more enjoyable snorkeling or diving experiences.

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.
