Summary

Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:

Today, conditions at Rye Pier are less than ideal for snorkeling or diving due to a higher swell of 1.5 meters and strong southeast winds at 25.2 km/h, which will likely generate some surface chop. However, conditions improve towards the weekend; Friday offers the best conditions with a manageable 1.0-meter swell and lighter winds at 13.7 km/h. Thursday and Saturday are also decent options. Monday and Tuesday present challenging conditions with high swells and strong north winds. Ocean temperatures remain around 18°C, so a 3mm wetsuit is recommended for comfort and insulation.

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.
