Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today in Bushrangers Bay, the conditions aren’t ideal for snorkeling or diving due to high wind speeds at 39.6 km/h and moderate swells at 1.4 meters, which could create surface chop and reduce visibility. For the rest of the week, the better days to go are Wednesday and Thursday, when swells decrease to 1.1 meters on Wednesday and winds calm to 25.2 km/h. Ocean temperatures are consistent at around 22.9°C, so a thin wetsuit may be comfortable. Avoid Friday and Saturday as swells increase to 1.6–1.7 meters, creating challenging conditions. Always prioritize safety and check local updates.

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.
