Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Julian Rocks, the ocean temperature is warm at 24.4°C, comfortable for a thin wetsuit or even just a rash guard. However, with a swell height of 2.6 meters and strong SW winds at 26.6 km/h, expect choppy conditions and reduced visibility for diving and snorkeling. For the rest of the week, conditions improve towards Monday and Tuesday, with decreasing swells down to 1.7 meters and winds easing to 23 km/h, making these days ideal for underwater activities. Avoid Thursday through Sunday due to high swells and strong winds creating challenging and potentially unsafe 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.
