Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Rain Island, conditions are less than ideal for snorkeling and diving. The swell is at 2.1 meters with strong southeast winds at 39.2 km/h, creating significant surface chop. Throughout the week, similar conditions persist, with swells slightly increasing and winds gradually decreasing to 32.0 km/h by Tuesday. The best day to venture out is Tuesday, with improved conditions and lower swell heights of 2.0 meters, still requiring caution. The ocean temperature remains warm at 28.1°C, so no wetsuit is necessary, but avoid the weekend as swells peak at 2.8 meters on Sunday.

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.
