Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Northwest Solitary Island, the ocean temperature is a comfortable 25.3°C, ideal for diving and snorkeling without a wetsuit. However, with a swell height of 1.7 meters and ESE winds at 20.2 km/h, surface conditions may be choppy, which could deter less experienced snorkelers. Tuesday and Wednesday stand out as the best days this week for aquatic activities, with lower swell heights of 1.5 meters. Despite slightly stronger winds on these days, the consistency of the easterly swell direction provides some predictability in conditions. Avoid heading out on Thursday through Saturday as winds pick up, increasing surface chop significantly.

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.
