Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Bushrangers Bay, conditions are challenging due to a high swell of 3.0 meters and strong winds at 51.8 km/h from the SSW, making both snorkeling and diving quite risky. Ocean temperatures are at 21.9°C, so while a wetsuit isn’t strictly necessary, it might be more comfortable. Looking ahead, the best days for water activities are Sunday and Monday, with much calmer swells under 1.0 meter and moderate to light winds. These days promise better visibility and a more enjoyable experience. Avoid Thursday and Friday due to high winds, though swell heights will start easing.

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.
