Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today, Thursday, presents excellent conditions for snorkeling and diving at Rain Island, with a gentle 0.5m swell and moderate 14 km/h winds from the NNW, combined with a warm ocean temperature of 29.2°C, eliminating the need for a wetsuit. Friday offers similarly favorable conditions with a slight decrease in swell. However, as the weekend approaches, conditions become less ideal due to increased swell heights of up to 1.8m on Sunday and stronger winds reaching over 23 km/h. Snorkelers and divers should avoid Sunday and Monday. Early in the week, on Thursday and Friday, are the best opportunities for underwater activities.

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.
