Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today at Green Island, the ocean temperature is a pleasant 26°C, but with 22.3 km/h winds and 1.6 m swells from the ENE, snorkeling and diving may be a bit rough due to surface chop. The ideal days for diving are Tuesday and Wednesday, with slightly calmer conditions featuring smaller swells at 1.4 m and reduced wind speeds around 20.2 km/h. Later in the week, particularly Friday and Saturday, winds increase significantly, so it might be best to avoid diving then. With warm ocean temperatures, a thin wetsuit may be all that’s necessary for comfort.

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.

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.
