Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today at South Solitary Islands, the conditions aren’t ideal for snorkeling or diving. Swells are at 2.8 meters with strong SSE winds at 33.8 km/h, creating a lot of surface chop. The ocean temperature is 23.4°C, which is quite comfortable. However, it would be wise to avoid the water until conditions improve. The best days to head out are Wednesday and Thursday, with swells dropping to 1.6 meters and winds easing to 24.5 km/h on Wednesday. Both days will offer calmer seas. A 3mm wetsuit is recommended for comfort throughout the week, despite occasional high winds.

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.
