Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Blairgowrie Pier, ocean conditions aren’t ideal due to a swell height of 1.9 meters and vigorous winds of 33.8 km/h coming from the SSW, which can create significant surface chop. A 3mm wetsuit is recommended as the ocean temperature is 20.6°C. The upcoming weekend promises better conditions with reduced swell heights of 1.6 meters and lighter winds, especially Sunday with just a 24.8 km/h wind from the SE, offering calmer waters for diving and snorkeling. Avoid planning trips early next week when swell peaks at 2.4 meters and winds intensify again.

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.
