Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today, conditions at Rain Island present moderate swells at 0.9 meters and relatively high winds at 19.1 km/h from the ESE, which could create surface chop, making it less ideal for snorkeling or diving. The ocean temperature is warm at 29.9°C, so no wetsuit is needed. For the rest of the week, Sunday and Monday look promising with similar swells at 0.9 and 1.0 meters and reduced winds around 10-11 km/h, providing calmer conditions. The ocean temperature remains consistently warm throughout the week, so snorkeling or diving without a wetsuit will be comfortable. Avoid Wednesday due to increased swells of 1.3 meters.

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.
