Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Julian Rocks, the ocean temperature is a warm 25.7°C, but the conditions are challenging with 2.8m swells from the SSE and 20.9 km/h winds from the SW, creating a choppy surface. It’s best to avoid snorkeling or diving today. The weekend looks promising; Saturday offers the best conditions with smaller 1.6m swells and gentle 16.6 km/h winds from the SSW, ideal for both snorkeling and diving. Ocean temperatures will remain comfortable, so a short wetsuit should suffice. Avoid Tuesday, as increasing swells and strong winds will likely result in rough 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.
