Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today at Green Island, conditions are less than ideal for snorkeling and diving, with a notable swell of 1.8 meters and high winds at 38.5 km/h, generating significant surface chop. Friday sees even rougher seas with swells at 3.4 meters, making it advisable to avoid any water activities. However, Sunday offers calmer conditions with swells down to 1.5 meters and slightly lower wind speeds, making it the best day for underwater adventures. Ocean temperatures are comfortable at around 27°C, so no wetsuit is needed. The start of next week continues with more mild conditions, great for exploration.

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.
