Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Port Noarlunga Reef, the ocean temperature is a pleasant 21.3°C, but with swells at 1.3 meters and gusty winds at 29.2 km/h from the SSW, conditions aren’t ideal for snorkeling or diving. The best days this week appear to be Tuesday and Wednesday, with low swells of 0.7 and 0.5 meters, respectively, and moderate winds under 22 km/h, which should minimize surface chop. Thursday through Saturday will see increasing swells and strong winds, especially Thursday with winds at 45 km/h, making these days less suitable. With continued warm water, a thin wetsuit should suffice.

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.
