Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at the South Solitary Islands, conditions are challenging for snorkeling and diving. The swell is 2.7 meters with a strong southern wind at 45.4 km/h, creating choppy surface conditions. Throughout the week, things will gradually improve, particularly from Sunday onwards when the swell drops to a more manageable 2.2 meters, and the wind eases to 27 km/h. Monday and Tuesday look especially promising with the lowest swells under 2 meters and gentler winds under 25 km/h, ideal for exploring underwater. Ocean temperatures are warm at 24°C, so a light wetsuit is optional for thermal comfort.

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.
