Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today at Shark Point, conditions aren’t ideal for snorkeling or diving due to the high swell of 3.4 meters and strong winds at 53.6 km/h, leading to rough seas. However, as the week progresses, conditions improve significantly. By Saturday, with a swell of 1.9 meters and reduced winds of 22.3 km/h, the ocean becomes calmer, making it a preferable day for underwater activities. Sunday and Monday are promising too, with swells decreasing to 1.3 and 1.2 meters, respectively. Ocean temperatures remain warm at 22.6°C, so no thick wetsuit is needed, just a light one for comfort.

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.
