Ranges span today's hours. Wave height here is the raw sea state — the rating scales it for how exposed the site is. Semi-exposed — partial protection, so swell is scored at three-quarters of its open-water height.

Dive briefing

AI-generated

Conditions today are marginal. The rating reflects 0.7m effective waves compounded by short-period chop — a combination that will make the dive choppy and demand good buoyancy control. Raw sea state runs 0.8–1.2m with wave periods of 4.6–5.4 seconds, and wind-generated chop adds texture. Water sits at 28.5–29.1°C. The site itself slopes from 8m, suitable for beginners, but respect the chop and plan accordingly.

You'll work the reef where divers commonly log Stoplight and Striped Parrotfish, Atlantic Blue Tangs, and Caribbean Bluehead Wrasses. Queen Angelfish, Schoolmaster Snappers, and Atlantic Sergeant Majors are often recorded here too. The reef here draws people early in the day, though conditions across the full day will remain as forecast.
