Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Julian Rocks, the ocean temperature is a warm 26.5°C, perfect for diving or snorkeling without a wetsuit. However, swells are at 2.0 meters with a southeast wind at 25.9 km/h, creating some surface chop. This makes today less ideal for snorkeling. For the week ahead, Thursday and Friday are the best days to consider. The swell drops to 1.9 meters on Thursday with a lighter wind at 22.0 km/h on Friday, offering smoother conditions. Avoid Saturday, as the swell increases to 2.5 meters, which could compromise visibility and safety. Always check local forecasts before heading out.

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.
