Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Port Noarlunga Reef, conditions are quite favorable for snorkeling and diving with a swell of 0.2 meters from the SSW and a moderate wind speed of 16.6 km/h. The ocean temperature is a pleasant 20.5°C, so a thin wetsuit might be comfortable for extended time in the water. Looking ahead, Saturday and Sunday show higher swell heights of 1.0 meters with strong winds of 24.1 km/h, creating potentially challenging conditions. Monday offers calmer seas with a 0.4 meter swell, making it the best day for water activities this week. Exercise caution on days with higher winds to avoid surface chop.

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.
