Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Edithburgh Jetty, conditions may not be ideal for snorkeling or diving with a swell of 1.0 meters and strong winds at 37.4 km/h from the south, creating significant surface chop. For better conditions, aim for Saturday and Tuesday, when swells drop to 0.5 and 0.4 meters, respectively, and winds reduce to 24.8 km/h and 22.3 km/h, minimizing surface chop. The ocean temperature is a comfortable 20.2°C, so a standard 3mm wetsuit should suffice for comfort. Avoid snorkeling or diving on days with stronger winds and higher swells, like Thursday and Sunday, to ensure safety and visibility.

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.
