Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Fish Rock, the conditions are less than ideal for diving or snorkeling with a 3.1m swell and strong winds at 43.9 km/h, which could create significant surface chop. Towards the weekend, conditions improve significantly. Saturday shows promise with a reduced swell of 2.6m and winds at 29.5 km/h. Sunday and Monday are the best days with swells dropping to 2.1m and 1.9m and light winds around 20 km/h. The ocean temperature is a comfortable 23.7°C, suitable for a light wetsuit, if any. Avoid snorkeling or diving on Wednesday and Thursday due to high winds and large swells.

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.
