Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today at Rye Pier, with the ocean temperature at 19.3°C, you might want a 3mm wetsuit for comfort. The swell is 1.6 meters and the wind speed is 30.2 km/h from the SSW, creating moderate surface chop. It’s okay for experienced snorkelers and divers but can be challenging for beginners. The weekend sees worsening conditions with swells peaking at 3.5 meters by Monday and winds up to 41 km/h causing rough surfaces. Conditions improve slightly Tuesday with swells of 2.1 meters and the wind dropping to 19.4 km/h, making it the best day for underwater exploration this week. Avoid anything from Saturday to Monday for safety.

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.
