Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Blairgowrie Pier, conditions are rough with a significant 3.4-meter swell and strong SW winds at 51.8 km/h, making snorkeling or diving inadvisable due to surface chop. Looking ahead, Wednesday offers the best conditions with a reduced 1.5-meter swell and SE winds at 24.8 km/h, creating a safer and more enjoyable experience. Ocean temperatures hover around 19.5°C, so a 3mm wetsuit is recommended for thermal comfort. Avoid snorkeling or diving again on Friday and Saturday as swells of 2 meters and above, combined with SW winds, may impact visibility and increase safety risks.

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.
