Near Port Stephens on the New South Wales coast, Pacific Dunes is bordered by the forested bushland typical of this stretch of shoreline, giving the course reasonably good natural ventilation from onshore winds most of the year. That bushland setting is also the main air quality consideration, since it raises the likelihood of smoke drifting across the fairways whenever bushfires take hold nearby during the region's summer and early autumn fire season. Otherwise, being away from major roads and industry, the course generally enjoys the clean coastal air characteristic of this part of the New South Wales coast.

When is air pollution at its worst in Pacific Dunes Golf Club?
Spending several hours outdoors at Pacific Dunes Golf Club is least ideal during the peak of summer, when bushfires send smoke haze through during dry, windy spells. Winter adds its own trouble, with wood-heater smoke lingering on calm, cold nights. Anyone sensitive to smoke or dust attending then may want to check conditions on the day.
Are air quality levels in Pacific Dunes Golf Club based on measurements or forecasts?
It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?
Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.
During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
