Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today’s conditions at Portsea Pier are not ideal for snorkeling or diving, with a high swell of 3.0 meters and strong SW winds at 49.7 km/h creating rough surface conditions. Consider avoiding today due to choppy waters. As the week progresses, Wednesday looks promising with a reduced swell of 1.3 meters and gentler winds at 25.2 km/h, providing a better opportunity for underwater activities. Ocean temperatures around 19.6°C to 19.8°C are somewhat chilly, so wearing a 3mm wetsuit will help maintain comfort throughout your dive. Keep an eye on wind changes, especially on Saturday when they shift from the north.

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.
