Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Shelly Beach, the ocean temperature is a pleasant 21.1°C, but the 2.5-meter SSE swell and 23.8 km/h wind could result in choppy waters, making it less ideal for snorkeling or diving. Looking ahead, conditions improve over the weekend with lower swells around 1.7 meters and reduced wind speeds, particularly on Monday when winds drop to 15.1 km/h, offering calmer seas. For the rest of the week, ocean temperatures hover around 21°C, suitable for a shorty wetsuit if you’re sensitive to cooler waters. Avoid Wednesday and Thursday due to higher winds and swells causing choppier conditions.

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.
