Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today at Bushrangers Bay, moderate conditions with a swell of 1.5 meters from the southeast and winds at 26.3 km/h from the west-northwest make for an okay day for diving but possibly too choppy for snorkeling. Ocean temperatures at 18.9°C suggest a 3-5mm wetsuit for comfort. The best days for underwater activities are Monday, with safer, minimal swell at 0.9 meters and manageable winds at 21.2 km/h from the west. Avoid Tuesday and Thursday due to higher swells at 2.3 and 1.8 meters and strong winds peaking at 36.0 and 38.5 km/h, making conditions challenging and less safe.

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.
