Reading the table: Each row shows one day. Below the values, a points row breaks down where the score came from — e.g. wind 22/30 means you earned 22 of 30 possible wind-points. Click the small (i) icons next to any column header to see a plain-English explanation of what the metric means and how to read it.

Sources: Wind/gust/direction and CAPE ensemble-averaged across GFS, ICON, JMA and GEM models. Waves, swell, ocean current, SST from Open-Meteo Marine. Tides from WorldTides FES2022. Satellite water-clarity (Secchi depth) and chlorophyll from Copernicus Marine Service. Calibrated by instructor reports.

How the score works

Out of 100, weighted for what matters underwater (freediving + scuba):

  • Wind (30pts) — with per-site exposure: sheltered sites get credit when wind blows from the sheltered quarter.
  • Waves (20pts) — surface chop, boat-ride comfort.
  • Swell (5pts) — long-period groundswell is rare in this enclosed gulf, so it is a light penalty; local wind-chop (counted under Waves) is the real surface driver.
  • Ocean current (20pts) — from Open-Meteo Marine ocean currents. Matters for both sports.
  • Viz (20pts) — led by satellite Secchi depth (real water clarity), plus 7-day rainfall runoff, wave-stirred bottom sediment at shallow sites, and seasonal turbidity.
  • Spring-tide penalty (−0 to −5) — applies only to shallow coastal sites (≤20m).

Forecast is ensemble-averaged across four weather models (GFS, ICON, JMA, GEM). When they disagree by >8 km/h we flag "forecast uncertainty."

Sources & caveats

Data comes from Open-Meteo Marine, a four-model weather ensemble (GFS, ICON, JMA, GEM), and Copernicus satellite water-clarity. Hover a cell for full metrics. Local factors the models can't see — boat traffic at Sail Rock, plankton blooms for whale-shark season, thermocline depth — still matter. Text us on WhatsApp for same-day conditions from the crew.

Why we built this

The most accurate Gulf of Thailand dive forecast — because the existing ones aren't

For years we relied on Windguru, Windy, and local weather apps to decide whether to run our boats. Every one of them is built for sailors — not divers. They tell you the wind speed and the wave height. They don't tell you there's a 0.8 m/s current ripping through Sail Rock that'll make your dive miserable — freediving or scuba. They don't know a plankton bloom just crashed visibility. They don't care about the thermocline at 18m, the spring-tide pull, or whether your specific dive site is sheltered from today's wind.

So we built our own. This tracker blends four weather models (GFS, ICON, JMA, GEM — averaged together), Open-Meteo's ocean data (waves, swell, ocean currents, sea-surface temperature, wave direction and period), real tide predictions from WorldTides FES2022, satellite water-clarity (Secchi depth) from Copernicus Marine as a direct visibility proxy, and atmospheric storm energy (CAPE) for thunderstorm risk. Then we score it for what matters underwater — not generic weather.

The final layer is you. Every instructor and diver who logs a post-dive report — what they actually saw, the real visibility, the real current — calibrates the forecast. Over time, ground-truth beats any algorithm. If you're diving in the Gulf, drop your report. It takes 30 seconds and makes the next boat-load of divers safer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it good to dive No Name Pinnacle today? +
Divable for experienced divers, but not ideal No Name Pinnacle. Today it's a 'Meh' (58/100): moderate wind, strong current, fair visibility. 0 of the next 7 days look divable (a score of 60+).
What are the dive conditions at No Name Pinnacle this week? +
Over the next 7 days at No Name Pinnacle, the dive score ranges 31–58 out of 100, with 0 divable days (60+). The tracker breaks down wind (with per-site directional exposure), waves, ocean current and satellite visibility for each day.
Will my No Name Pinnacle dive trip get cancelled? +
Conditions are rough right now — only 0 of the next 7 days look divable, so trips may not run. No Name Pinnacle is exposed and the call is made the morning of.
How accurate is the Gulf of Thailand dive conditions forecast? +
The forecast ensemble-averages four weather models (GFS, ICON, JMA, GEM), blends Open-Meteo Marine ocean data (waves, swell, ocean currents, SST), real tides from WorldTides FES2022, satellite water-clarity (Secchi depth) and chlorophyll from Copernicus Marine, and atmospheric storm energy. Visibility also factors in rainfall runoff and wave-stirred bottom sediment at shallow sites. Scores are tuned for diving — both freediving and scuba — prioritising ocean currents and visibility over generic marine forecasts. Instructors log actual conditions after each dive, which calibrates the model over time.
What does the dive condition score mean? +
0–100, and we label it in plain diver-speak. Above 80 is "Showtime" (flat seas, clear water, minimal current). 60–79 is "Decent" (divable with minor compromise). 40–59 is "Meh" (experienced divers only). Below 40 is "Nope" (the boat likely stays in).
Why is Sail Rock's score different from Windguru's wind forecast? +
Windguru reports raw wind. Our score weights wind 30, waves 20, swell 5, ocean currents 20, and visibility 20 — and our visibility blends satellite Secchi depth (real water clarity), rainfall runoff, wave-stirred bottom sediment and seasonal monsoon turbidity, not just wind. Plus spring-tide and gust penalties at shallow or exposed sites. Scuba divers and freedivers both care about currents and visibility as much as surface wind — most general marine forecasts ignore them.
When is the best diving season in Koh Samui and Koh Tao? +
March to May offers the calmest seas and peak whale shark season at Sail Rock, though plankton blooms can reduce visibility. June to September has good visibility and moderate weather. October to December brings the northeast monsoon with choppier conditions. Check the live tracker for day-specific scoring.
How do I report actual dive conditions to improve the forecast? +
Visit /conditions/log after your dive — submit observed visibility, current strength, thermocline depth, and an optional photo. Each report earns points, climbs the leaderboard, and improves the forecast calibration. Dive shops who submit their website get a public backlink.
