Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Flinders Pier, conditions are challenging for snorkeling and diving, with a swell of 2.4 meters and strong NNW winds at 37.4 km/h, creating surface chop. Ocean temperatures stand at 17.2°C, so a 3mm wetsuit is advisable. Later in the week, Friday through Monday have improved conditions. Swell heights decrease to more manageable levels, with Monday showing the smallest swell at 1.1 meters. Lighter winds on Friday onward, particularly Saturday at 14 km/h from the ENE, make these ideal days to explore. Avoid Wednesday and Thursday due to high swells and winds.

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.
