Sydney Weekend Forecast

After weeks of elevated swell and runoff, conditions are finally improving. Saturday remains marginal with 1.3m swell—restrict diving to protected sites. By Sunday, the swell drops below 1m, opening up ocean-facing sites for the first time in weeks. Combined with dry conditions across the weekend, this is your best opportunity since 3 weeks ago. Check divepelagic.com for site-specific conditions before heading out.
