ClosuresWait for a calmer window when waves or current make the exit difficult. Follow posted signs and surf warnings.
Marine lifeThe reef can hold turtles and tropical fish. Do not touch wildlife or enter near boat traffic.

Best available hours
No daylight hour meets the good model threshold in the next 72 hours. Check the hourly table for details.
Why this verdict
Main blockers across the next 72 hours:
- Waves (62 hours)
- Darkness (48 hours)
- Tide/current (43 hours)
Jellyfish drift risk
Drift estimate from wind, swell, current and warm water.
Low peak drift risk around Tue 21:00.
warm water supports seasonal jellyfish activity; surface drift/current is noticeable; local shoreline exposure is not mapped yet.
Sightings override the model: if you see small purple jellyfish with long trailing tentacles, treat them as sting-capable and give them space.
Upcoming high tides
Next early morning high tide: Thu 02:00

72-hour historical overview
Scoring methodology (for technical users)
We score each hour from 0 to 1 using daylight and these weighted components:
- Wave height (35%): best below 0.36m, then decreases as it rises.
- Wind speed (25%): best below 5.4m/s, lower is better.
- Sea surface temperature (15%): best within 20.6°C to 30.4°C.
- Tide and currents (15%): best around slack/high-tide windows.
- Daylight (10%): visibility is better in daylight, so night hours score lower.
