Zone verdict for George Town: Go see zone

Exposure, in plain language

Shore snorkel and dive north of the cruise terminal. Same west exposure as the harbour.

Wind reaches this site from the south-west through the north-north-west (220° to 340°). Swell reaches it from the south-west through the north-north-west (220° to 340°). It is sheltered from the NE, E, SE, S. Shore entries and the sandbar use tighter wave thresholds than boat sites.

🌊Tide: Near low water · high 18:10 · then low 00:30 · 0.3 m range · Near low water: the reef flat or ironshore crossing is at its shallowest. Watch your knees and fins going in and out.

Cayman tides are small (about 0.3 m) and rarely decide the day. Times are from a global tide model, roughly ±30 min; the official tables are on the CINWS sun and tides page.

Hourly forecast
