Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Julian Rocks, the ocean temperature is a warm 25.3°C, which is comfortable for diving or snorkeling without a wetsuit. However, the 1.5-meter SSE swell and the 24.1 km/h NNE wind may create moderate surface chop, making today less ideal. For the rest of the week, Monday and Saturday feature more favorable conditions, with swells dropping back to 1.6 meters and 1.8 meters, respectively, although wind speeds are variable. Avoid Tuesday and Wednesday as swells exceed 2.5 meters, coupled with strong winds, which can create challenging conditions. For best experiences, plan your underwater adventures for Saturday.

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.
Scores reflect the ocean conditions in the 2 hours between 8am and 10am, and consider local heavy rainfall in the period prior.

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.
