Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today’s conditions at Flinders Pier feature a swell height of 1.6 meters and a wind speed of 32.4 km/h. This creates some surface chop, which might challenge less experienced snorkelers and divers. The ocean temperature of 19°C is on the cooler side. Therefore, a 3mm wetsuit is advisable for thermal comfort. Looking ahead, Saturday through Monday should be avoided for activities due to high swell heights peaking at 3.5 meters and strong winds reaching over 50 km/h. Tuesday appears the best day, with reduced swell and wind speeds, offering safer and more pleasant conditions for snorkeling and diving.

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.
