Great Ocean Road
Weather Stations
Due to the length of the Great
Ocean Road there can be significant difference between weather at
differnt locations. The Australian Bureau of Meterology has weather
stations located at Aires Inlet, Cape Otway, Warrnambool
and Portland. Data
for Cape Otway goes back approximately 140 years whilst other locations
give data for 10 to 15 years. The data in the tables below
is provided to help plan your tour of the Great Ocean Road based on
historical weather. As a general guide the best
time of the year to visit the Great Ocean Road is from last week in
February to Mid April. As the Great Ocean Road fronts some of the most dangerous ocean in
the world you should always be prepared for wild weather. Low pressure
fronts can sweep along the Great Ocean Road from Antartica with little warning causing large
temperature drops, strong winds and rain.
