Summary
Forecast for the next 7 days according to Reefranger:
Today’s conditions at Rye Pier are challenging for snorkeling and diving, with high swells at 4.4 meters and strong WSW winds at 46.1 km/h, creating significant surface chop. Conditions start to improve on Friday, with swells dropping to 2.4 meters and lighter NW winds at 14.4 km/h, making it more suitable for underwater activities. The weekend promises excellent conditions, especially on Sunday and Monday, with both swells and winds calming further. Water temperatures are around 17.6°C, so wearing a 3mm wetsuit would be advisable to stay comfortable. Avoid today and consider Saturday through Monday for the best experiences.

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.
