Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Shark Net Beach, the conditions are not ideal for snorkeling or diving, with high swells of 3.2 meters and strong winds at 51.1 km/h from the south, which could create significant surface chop. The rest of the week sees improvements, especially from Saturday onwards, with swells decreasing to a safer 1.9 meters and further to about 1.0 meters by Tuesday, with relatively calmer winds ranging 15.8 to 27.4 km/h from various directions. Ocean temperatures are consistent at 20.6°C, which might warrant a spring suit or a 3mm wetsuit for comfort. Sunday and Monday stand out as particularly good days to plan underwater adventures.

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.
