Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Bushrangers Bay, conditions are less than ideal for snorkeling or diving, with a swell height of 2.9 meters and moderate winds at 14.4 km/h, both creating choppy conditions. For safer experiences, consider diving on Friday or Tuesday when swells decrease to around 1.8-1.7 meters, although Friday’s winds are a bit brisk at 21.2 km/h. Saturday and Monday should be avoided due to high winds over 30 km/h. The ocean temperature is a pleasant 23.5°C, so a thin wetsuit will suffice. Focus on Friday or Tuesday for the best conditions around the week.

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.
