Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today’s conditions at Rye Pier are challenging for snorkeling and diving due to high swells at 2.7 meters and strong winds of 54 km/h from the north, creating surface chop. The ocean temperature is 19.1°C, where a 3mm wetsuit is advisable for comfort. The best days for underwater activities will be Wednesday and Thursday when swells drop to 1.3 and 1.2 meters, and winds reduce to around 26.6 km/h from the south, offering calmer waters. Friday’s conditions worsen slightly with swells rising to 2.0 meters, so plan accordingly for a more comfortable experience.

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.
