Local Environmental Conditions
Northern beaches coastal golf course occupying sandy, exposed links-style terrain, its rough and dune areas retaining coastal banksia scrub and remnant littoral vegetation typical of the Manly headland. Fairways and greens are maintained couch and bent grass. Onshore ocean breezes help disperse pollen across the open course, but spring banksia flowering along the dunes and turf grass pollen from the closely mown playing surface remain the leading local sources.
Manly Golf Club's course, close to Sydney's northern beaches, benefits from onshore breezes that help moderate pollen more than inland courses experience, tree pollen from coastal eucalypt and banksia peaking August-September, and grass pollen from the fairways building to an October-December peak. Being near the coast, conditions on the course tend to be milder on the classic pollen-count days than at courses further from the sea.

When is pollen season in Sydney?
How often is the Sydney pollen forecast updated?
The Sydney pollen forecast is updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Does pollen in Sydney 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 Sydney 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 Sydney, 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. |
