Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at Northwest Solitary Island, conditions are challenging for snorkeling and diving due to high winds at 43.9 km/h from the south and moderate swell height of 1.5 meters. This combination can create considerable surface chop, reducing visibility and comfort. Ocean temperatures are warm at 26.6°C, negating the need for heavy wetsuits. Looking ahead, Sunday and Monday present better opportunities with reduced swell heights around 1.3 meters and slightly calmer winds, particularly on Sunday at 25.9 km/h from the ENE, making these days more favorable for marine activities. Exercise caution on Friday and Saturday with higher swells and winds.

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.
