Hour by hour
The score: each hour from 1pm to 11pm gets 0–100 from wind 40% · gusts 30% · swell at the Heads 30%.
Wind is full marks up to ~15 km/h and zero by 46 km/h; gusts full marks to ~22 km/h, zero by 59 km/h; swell full marks to 0.8 m, zero by 2.5 m.
Day score is the average: 75+ good to go · 50–74 borderline · under 50 give it a miss.
Rain rule: rain isn't in the score — but if the chance of rain tops 50% at any point in the session, the day is an automatic NO.
Tide is modelled sea level vs mean (▲ rising · ▼ falling); it's shown for planning the bite, not scored. Inside the bay runs calmer than the Heads swell figure.
