Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today, snorkeling and diving at Shelly Beach are not ideal due to high swells of 3.4 meters and strong wind speeds of 33.1 km/h, creating rough conditions. As the week progresses, conditions improve significantly, with the best days being Sunday and Monday. Swells drop to 1.3 and 1.2 meters, and winds lower to more manageable speeds around 23-25 km/h, providing calmer waters. Ocean temperatures around 22.8°C are comfortable, but a 3mm wetsuit might enhance comfort, especially for prolonged dives. Avoid Thursday, as both high swells and strong winds make it unsuitable for water activities.

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.
