Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today, the South Solitary Islands are experiencing moderate conditions with a swell of 1.5 meters from the ESE and strong winds at 37.8 km/h from the SSW, which might create surface chop, making it less ideal for snorkeling and diving. The ocean temperature is warm at 26.7°C, so no wetsuit should be needed. The best days to explore underwater are Sunday through Wednesday, with swells dropping to around 1.3-1.4 meters and calmer winds under 35 km/h. Avoid diving on Friday and Saturday, as swells rise above 2.5 meters with strong winds, making conditions rougher.

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.
