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.

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.
