Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Blairgowrie Pier, conditions aren’t ideal for snorkeling or diving due to high swells of 2.8 meters and strong northerly winds at 53.6 km/h, which will create significant surface chop. The ocean temperature is a pleasant 19.3°C. Consider wearing a light wetsuit for comfort. The best conditions are expected midweek, particularly on Wednesday and Thursday with lower swells around 1.3-1.2 meters and moderate SE to SSE winds around 26.6-27.0 km/h. Avoid Friday as swells rise again to 2.5 meters. Plan your underwater adventures midweek for a smoother and more enjoyable experience.

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.
