Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today, snorkeling and diving at Northwest Solitary Island is not recommended due to high swells of 2.7 meters and strong winds from the southeast at 36 km/h, which may create rough surface conditions. However, conditions improve over the weekend, with Saturday and Sunday looking promising for underwater activities. Swells decrease to 2.0 and 1.5 meters, respectively, and winds ease to around 21 km/h, creating calmer seas. The ocean temperature holds at a comfortable 24.2°C, so a thin wetsuit is optional. Avoid Monday, as swells and winds increase again, making it less ideal for snorkeling and diving.

Diving Forecast
These are the reefranger ratings for the next 7 days. Ratings are available for the morning, low tide, and high tide. Tides are shown during the daytime (6am to 8pm). Ratings currently take into account Swell Height, Swell Direction, and location exposure based on swell direction versus the orientation of the site.
Scores reflect the ocean conditions in the 2 hours between 8am and 10am, and consider local heavy rainfall in the period prior.

Model
Swell and wind impact diving suitability, but not all swells and winds are equal. A dive site may be protected from wind and swell by nearby geography. The model uses these exposure ratings to determine how much impact a wind and swell will have on the dive site, based on the origin of the winds or waves.
