Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Murrays Beach, conditions are not ideal for snorkeling or diving due to high swells of 3.2 meters and strong southern winds at 51.1 km/h, which will likely create significant surface chop. As the week progresses, conditions improve significantly, especially from Saturday through Tuesday, with swells decreasing to below 2 meters and winds calming to under 25 km/h. The ocean temperature remains stable around 21.7°C, suitable for a 2-3mm wetsuit to stay comfortable. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday are particularly promising days to enjoy underwater activities with minimal surface disturbances and calmer seas.

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.
