Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Blairgowrie Pier, ocean conditions are marginal for snorkeling and diving, with a swell height of 1.6 meters and a strong wind speed of 30.6 km/h causing surface chop. The ocean temperature of 19.2°C is on the cooler side, so a 3mm wetsuit is advisable. Over the weekend, conditions worsen with increasing swell heights reaching up to 3.5 meters on Monday and wind speeds peaking at 40 km/h, making it unsuitable for water activities. For calmer seas and lighter winds, Tuesday is your best bet, with a reduced swell of 2.1 meters and wind speed dropping to 18.4 km/h.

Diving Forecast
These are the reefranger ratings for the next 7 days. Ratings are available for the morning, low tide, and high tide. Tides are shown during the daytime (6am to 8pm). Ratings currently take into account Swell Height, Swell Direction, and location exposure based on swell direction versus the orientation of the site.
Scores reflect the ocean conditions in the 2 hours between 8am and 10am, and consider local heavy rainfall in the period prior.

Model
Swell and wind impact diving suitability, but not all swells and winds are equal. A dive site may be protected from wind and swell by nearby geography. The model uses these exposure ratings to determine how much impact a wind and swell will have on the dive site, based on the origin of the winds or waves.
