Water temperatures fluctuate between 22C and 27C throughout the year.

The current at Subex runs strongest mid-morning, so an early entry often gives you calmer conditions and better chances of spotting the more sedentary species like seahorses and pipefish before surge picks up. Guided tours are available on site, which is worth considering for your first visit given the current and the depth range.
