Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today, conditions at South Solitary Islands are challenging with a swell of 2.6 meters and strong winds at 33.1 km/h from the southeast, creating surface chop not ideal for snorkeling or diving. The ocean temperature is a warm 24.2°C, comfortable for a light wetsuit if needed. For calmer conditions, Saturday or Sunday are recommended, with swells dropping to 1.9 and 1.6 meters and winds easing to 21.6 and 19.8 km/h respectively, providing a great opportunity to get underwater. Avoid Monday, as swells increase to 2.4 meters and winds reach nearly 40 km/h, making it unsuitable for safe diving or snorkeling.

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.
