Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today in Green Island, the conditions are challenging for snorkeling and diving with a swell height of 2.4 meters and wind speed at 21.6 km/h, creating potential surface chop. Ocean temperatures hover around 25°C, which is comfortable without a wetsuit. Friday and Saturday offer better opportunities, with calmer swells around 1.6-1.8 meters and less wind on Friday. However, the wind picks up significantly on Saturday, so earlier outings are recommended. Conditions worsen with increasing winds from Sunday through Tuesday, making these days less ideal for water activities. Aim for Friday morning for the best experience this week.

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.
