Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Flinders Pier, conditions are challenging for snorkeling or diving with a swell height of 1.9 meters and strong winds at 33.8 km/h from the south, likely creating surface chop. The ocean temperature is 20.4°C, so a 3mm wetsuit is recommended for comfort. The best days for underwater activities are looking to be Saturday and Sunday, with reduced swells at 1.6 meters and milder winds around 23 km/h, ensuring a more pleasant experience. Avoid early next week, particularly Tuesday and Wednesday, as swell heights increase to 2.2 and 2.4 meters respectively, with strong winds also forecasted.

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.
