Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today, snorkeling and diving at North Rock aren’t ideal due to high swells of 2.9 meters and strong SSW winds at 43.2 km/h, which will cause considerable surface chop. Conditions begin to improve over the weekend, with Sunday offering a swell decrease to 1.9 meters and reduced winds at 20.9 km/h, enhancing underwater visibility. Monday and Tuesday look great for snorkeling or diving, with swells dropping to 1.3 and 1.2 meters, respectively, and wind speeds remaining manageable. The ocean temperature is a warm 23°C all week, so a shortie wetsuit should suffice for comfort.

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.
