Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Kirra Reef, the ocean temperature is a comfortable 25.6°C, ideal for those planning to snorkel or dive without a wetsuit. However, with swell heights at 1.3 meters and a brisk SSW wind at 21.6 km/h, expect some surface chop, which might make conditions less favorable. The best days for snorkeling and diving this week are Saturday and Sunday, with lower swell heights at 0.8 meters and moderate winds. Friday and Tuesday should be avoided due to higher wind speeds above 25 km/h, generating choppier conditions. Always prioritize safety and check conditions before heading out.

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.
