Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at the South Solitary Islands, the ocean temperature is a comfortable 25.4°C, but with a swell height of 2.3 meters and strong southerly winds at 27 km/h, conditions are less than ideal for snorkeling or diving due to potential surface chop and reduced visibility. Friday and Saturday are the best days to hit the water, with lower swells of 1.6 and 1.4 meters, respectively, and milder winds. The consistent SSE swell direction won’t pose major issues, however, windy conditions on Tuesday should be avoided. No wetsuit is necessary this week given the warm ocean temperatures.

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.
