Conditions at Bluff Point

Bluff Point is open to the sea from the WNW–SSE, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the SSW–W.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better on Sun, Mon and Wed. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water is 25 °C at the surface and stays warm past 56 m, so a 3 mm wetsuit suits most dives.

Shelter

Open water in each direction from the site. Longer petals mean more open sea, so more exposure to wind waves and swell from that direction.N: 33.6 km of open waterNNE: 29.3 km of open waterNE: 27.8 km of open waterENE: 33.5 km of open waterE: 164.2 km of open waterESE: open sea (over 200 km)SE: 27.9 km of open waterSSE: open sea (over 200 km)S: 3.1 km of open waterSSW: 2.3 km of open waterSW: 1.9 km of open waterWSW: 1.0 km of open waterW: 0.2 km of open waterWNW: 21.5 km of open waterNW: 40.2 km of open waterNNW: 76.4 km of open waterNESW
