Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today’s conditions at Kirra Reef are less than ideal for snorkeling or diving, with 2.1-meter swells from the ESE and strong SE winds at 32.4 km/h likely generating surface chop. The ocean temperature is a warm 24.8°C, which is comfortable without a wetsuit. The best days for diving or snorkeling will be Sunday and Monday, with gentler swells at 1.2 and 1.0 meters and more moderate winds in the 18.7 to 27.7 km/h range. Avoid Thursday and Tuesday, as higher winds could make surface conditions challenging. Overall, the weekend looks promising for underwater adventures.

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.
