Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Edithburgh Jetty, the ocean temperature is around 19°C, which is comfortable with a 3mm wetsuit. However, strong SSE winds at 33.8 km/h may produce surface chop, making today less ideal for snorkeling or diving. Conditions are best on Friday with minimal swells at 0.5m and gentle ESE winds at 21.2 km/h, providing calm seas. The weekend sees moderate swells and increased wind speeds, particularly on Sunday. Next Monday’s 1.0m swells and shifting NNE direction are not optimal for safe diving. Plan your underwater adventures for the lower winds and swells expected on Friday.

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.
