Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Bushrangers Bay, conditions are challenging with a 2.6-meter swell and strong southerly winds at 45.4 km/h, creating significant surface chop. It’s best to avoid snorkeling or diving today. Look forward to Sunday, which offers the best conditions with a reduced 1.1-meter swell and calmer northeasterly winds at 27 km/h, perfect for diving and snorkeling. Ocean temperatures are comfortable at 22.8°C, so a short wetsuit is recommended, especially if you plan extended periods in the water. Avoid Thursday, Friday, and Monday, where higher swells and strong winds persist.

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.
