Local Environmental Conditions
Coastal resort golf course near Nelson Bay on the Port Stephens peninsula, its fairways bordered by banksia and coastal tea-tree scrub on sandy soils typical of this stretch of the NSW coast, with pockets of spotted gum woodland further inland. Maintained couch fairways and bent-grass greens dominate the playing surface. Spring banksia and tea-tree flowering along the rough combine with turf grass pollen for a coastal-heath-influenced profile.
Horizons Golf Resort, overlooking Port Stephens at Nelson Bay, sits in a coastal temperate pocket where onshore breezes moderate pollen more than inland NSW venues, tree pollen from coastal eucalypt and banksia peaking August-September, and grass pollen from the resort's fairways building to an October-December peak. The bay's sheltered waters and surrounding bushland mean golfers can still encounter solid tree pollen counts through late winter and early spring despite the coastal setting.

Does pollen in Nelson Bay come from nearby or far away?
Studies show that most pollen exposure (often 70–90%) comes from nearby sources, such as local trees and vegetation. A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Nelson Bay based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.
Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Nelson Bay, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.
This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
