Conditions at Paradise Reef

Paradise Reef is open to the sea from the all directions, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better every day. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

The water is 28 °C at the surface and warm to about 18 m, so a rash guard or 1–2 mm suits most dives.

Shelter

Open water in each direction from the site. Longer petals mean more open sea, so more exposure to wind waves and swell from that direction.N: open sea (over 200 km)NNE: open sea (over 200 km)NE: open sea (over 200 km)ENE: 187.3 km of open waterE: open sea (over 200 km)ESE: open sea (over 200 km)SE: open sea (over 200 km)SSE: 139.9 km of open waterS: 93.1 km of open waterSSW: 56.4 km of open waterSW: 39.9 km of open waterWSW: 37.5 km of open waterW: 33.5 km of open waterWNW: 37.3 km of open waterNW: 48.9 km of open waterNNW: 34.2 km of open waterNESW
