Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Bushrangers Bay, ocean temperatures are pleasant at 23.8°C; however, with a swell height of 1.8 meters and winds from the NNW at 19.4 km/h, expect some surface chop, making conditions challenging. The weekend features higher swells and strong winds, specifically Saturday, with a swell of 2.1 meters and 29.9 km/h winds, which should be avoided. However, Monday to Thursday offers better conditions for diving and snorkeling, with lower swells around 1.0-1.2 meters and manageable wind speeds, particularly on Wednesday when winds drop to 18.4 km/h. A light wetsuit might enhance comfort, though it’s not essential given the warm water.

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.
