Sydney Dive Site Hints

	"Camp Cove is a good macro dive and sea horses can be sometimes found"

Diving Weather and Sea Conditions

Current Conditions at my home at Kareela, Sydney..

The following are some links to diving weather resources as well as sea conditions.

WEATHER FORECASTS AND CURRENT CONDITIONS

Current Sydney Weather Observations - Especially good for seeing if winds are too strong - look at Little Bay and Kurnell for Botany Bay, Kurnell and Wattamolla for Port Hacking and North Head for Sydney Harbour

Current NSW Weather Observations - For Sydney, good to check Illawarra and South Coast locations to see if a change is coming

Sydney MetEye Marine Forecast from BOM - we used this a bit when sailing and seems good

Terrey Hills 64 km Radar - Sydney Weather Radar

Sydney Tide Times

Willy Weather for Cronulla - Computer modelling of winds and sea conditions - very accurate

Buoy Weather for Sydney - US computer modelling - very accurate but only two days in advance.

Current Wave Heights - Sydney

Sydney Ports Wind and Sea Conditions - good for Bare Island and Inscription Point in Botany Bay
