Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Flinders Pier, conditions are quite challenging for snorkeling and diving. The swell height of 3.4 meters and strong winds of 51.8 km/h from the southwest create rough water and significant surface chop. Later in the week, conditions improve, especially on Wednesday, when the swell drops to 1.5 meters, and winds decrease to 24.1 km/h from the southeast. This day presents the best opportunity for water activities. Ocean temperatures hover around 19.2°C, so a 3mm wetsuit is advisable to ensure comfort. Avoid venturing out in the early part of the week due to unfavorable conditions.

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.
