Withnell Bay and Pebbles Beach serve as the primary entry points, where sheltered inshore waters host patchy coral gardens, sandy clearings, and weedy habitats teeming with tropical fish, rays, nudibranchs and seasonal turtles. The sites are best snorkeled at low tide and dived on high tide slack, with typical depths of 5-6m and visibility up to 10m in the cooler months. Water temperatures range from 21°C in July–August to 30°C in January–February, making this a year-round destination protected from the open ocean swell.","intermediate",null,"published",{"name":59,"amplitude":75,"phase":91,"latitude":22,"model":107,"epoch":108},[60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74],"2N2","J1","K1","K2","M2","M4","MF","MM","N2","O1","P1","Q1","S1","S2","T2",[76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90],0.021693594342330792,0.009627557798719212,0.237240575697646,0.21759754425650654,1.2747236252513567,0.02166487957185181,0.011049093308659367,0.004457035743407903,0.2274980401600517,0.14522942325514085,0.06687700753832618,0.03284979689831082,0.01607337666776753,0.7832481438088603,0.03857941706049778,[92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106],20.04476557784244,192.52912057295157,173.31408253826908,133.45952227344708,75.99343726879763,25.27378746684784,355.3465069883378,232.35120244752682,47.38212391377465,162.22723995130195,166.41313893983113,157.50499892346306,4.298189875735346,136.98207784547662,144.9571650149049,"EOT20","1992-01-01T00:00:00Z",[110,114,118,121,124,127,132,135,138,141,144,147],{"name":111,"description":112,"severity":113,"season_start":56,"season_end":56},"Boat traffic","Withnell Bay experiences weekend boat traffic; always display a dive flag when in the water.","warning",{"name":115,"description":116,"severity":117,"season_start":56,"season_end":56},"Limited visibility in summer","Visibility is typically less than 5m during warmer months (November to March), reducing situational awareness.","caution",{"name":119,"description":120,"severity":117,"season_start":56,"season_end":56},"Rough access roads","Unsealed dirt tracks require 4WD or AWD; roads north of Withnell Bay are extremely rough and need high clearance.",{"name":122,"description":123,"severity":117,"season_start":56,"season_end":56},"Rocky shore entry","Entry points involve navigating rocks and sand patches; exposed rocks can be slippery.",{"name":125,"description":126,"severity":117,"season_start":56,"season_end":56},"Tidal currents","Tidal flow in the bay can pick up around high tide; best dived on slack water but snorkelers should be aware of changing conditions.",{"name":128,"description":129,"severity":117,"season_start":130,"season_end":131},"Poor Visibility (Summer)","Visibility drops below 5 metres during warmer months (Nov–Mar) due to plankton blooms and sediment.",11,12,{"name":133,"description":134,"severity":117,"season_start":56,"season_end":56},"Sharp Rocks & Coral","Entry points involve rocks and coral bommies.
