Cairns and reef next week

looking for some insight if the current weather in Cairns. I am planning to fly in on Monday (Feb 6) and stay for 3-4 days but the forecast does not look great. Would it be still possible to do some trips to the reef or spend a day in the Daintree?
Any suggestions on which boat/company to rent for the reef excursions or which island would be the best to stay.

Thanks

Today (Saturday) we had shocking weather. Winds were cyclonic and raining most of the day.
Weather forecast says it should be mainly fine on Monday though.
Most of the boats will still go to the reef. Visibility may not be very good though.
If you don't want to go to the reef, there's plenty of other things to do in and around Cairns.

Australia's Great Barrier Reef, the only natural thing on the planet which can be seen from space. The Great Barrier Reef can be accessed from the city of Cairns, which acts as its entrance for the travelers.
