Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Northwest Solitary Island, conditions are challenging for snorkeling and diving with a 2.1m swell from the NNE and strong winds at 45.4 km/h. The cool ocean temperature of 21.3°C suggests wearing a 3mm wetsuit for comfort. The weekend is not ideal either due to high swells and wind. However, conditions improve by Wednesday with a decrease in swell height to 2.2m and a more manageable wind speed of 27.0 km/h. Thursday looks best for underwater activities, featuring the lowest swell of 1.6m and calm winds, providing safer and more enjoyable conditions.

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.
