Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Blairgowrie Pier, the ocean temperature is moderately cool at 18°C, so a 3mm wetsuit is recommended for comfort. Swell height is 1.5 meters with a southeast wind at 26.3 km/h, creating potential surface chop which is less than ideal for snorkeling or diving. The best conditions this week will be on Friday and Sunday with calmer swells of 1.0 meters and lower wind speeds, making them perfect for underwater activities. However, avoid Monday and Tuesday due to high swell heights and strong winds, which could lead to rough conditions in the water.

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.
