Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Julian Rocks, conditions are not ideal for snorkeling or diving. A swell height of 2.3 meters and wind speed at 23.4 km/h create a choppy surface. It would be wise to avoid water activities. Ocean temperatures are warm, so no wetsuit is needed if conditions improve. Looking ahead, Sunday and Monday appear promising, with swells dropping to 1.9 and 1.4 meters, respectively, paired with milder winds. The best days are Tuesday and Wednesday, with smooth seas and a very calm swell of under 1.1 meters, offering excellent visibility and more enjoyable conditions.

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.
