Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Port Noarlunga Reef, conditions are challenging for snorkeling and diving due to a swell of 0.9 meters and strong winds at 25.9 km/h coming from the SSE, which can cause surface chop. Ocean temperatures are steady at 20°C, recommending at least a 3mm wetsuit for comfort. The best days for diving and snorkeling are Friday and Saturday, with lower swells of 0.5 and 0.7 meters and calmer winds around 16.9 km/h. Avoid Sunday and Monday, as higher winds over 27 km/h create rough conditions 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.
