Tide gauges
Victorian tide gauge data is not currently available through the VCMP. However, we are looking to fill this data gap.
At present, we recommend accessing the Monthly Tide Gauge Statistics through the Bureau of Meteorology.
Wave +/- Hydro models
There are two models available:
- Port Phillip Bay SCHISM Model - For more information, see 'Hydrodynamic Climate of Port Phillip Bay'
- VIC WAVEWATCH III Model - For more information, see 'The wave climate of Bass Strait and South-East Australia'
Coastal node statistics across both models are viewable on CoastKit.
For access to coastal node data (mean statistics and time series), contact us.
