Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today, Port Noarlunga Reef presents moderate conditions for snorkeling and diving, with a 1.0m swell and southern winds reaching 25.9 km/h, which might generate some surface chop. Ocean temperature is 22.8°C, so a shorty wetsuit may be comfortable. Over the weekend, conditions improve with lower swells at 0.6m on both Saturday and Sunday and reduced wind speeds, especially on Sunday at 20.5 km/h, making these days ideal for underwater exploration. Early next week sees an increase in swell and wind, becoming less favorable. To enjoy the best aquatic experience, consider venturing out this Sunday.

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.
