Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Flinders Pier, conditions are quite challenging with high swells of 2.7 meters and strong northerly winds at 47.9 km/h, making it unsuitable for snorkeling or diving. As the week progresses, conditions improve significantly. By Wednesday and Thursday, swells drop to a more comfortable 1.3 and 1.2 meters, with winds easing to around 24 km/h from the south-southwest. These days present the best opportunities for underwater activities, with relatively calm seas and moderate swells. Given the 19°C ocean temperature, a 3mm to 5mm wetsuit is advisable to ensure comfort while snorkeling or 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.
