Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at South Solitary Islands, the ocean temperature is a comfortable 26°C, but with a swell of 1.7 meters and winds at 18 km/h from the ENE, conditions are moderately choppy. Later in the week, Tuesday and Wednesday present the best opportunities for snorkeling or diving with reduced swells of 1.5 meters. However, increased winds on these days, especially the 23.4 km/h southeast winds on Tuesday, may still cause surface chop. Winds intensify again by Friday and Saturday, reaching up to 25.9 km/h. With consistently warm waters, a spring suit or shorty wetsuit is ideal.

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.
