Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today at Rye Pier, both the swell and wind are high, with a swell of 1.9 meters from the SSW and wind speeds reaching 33.8 km/h, which can create choppy conditions. Not ideal for snorkeling or diving. Saturday and Sunday offer more favorable conditions, with lower swells around 1.6 meters and lighter winds, making these days the best for underwater activities. Ocean temperatures hover around 20.8°C, so a 3mm wetsuit should provide adequate warmth. Avoid Monday and Tuesday due to rising swells and strong winds, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable experience later in the week.

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.
