The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk about Rye Ocean Beach over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a slow start, but there’s one cracking window of clean swell that’s the real deal. Water temp is about 56°F, pretty much average for this time of year, so no worries there.
The beginning is a write-off. Sunday the 2nd has 6ft of long-period SW groundswell (16 seconds) with a strong 25 mph north cross-off wind. Combined energy is 1990 (moderate), but it’s marked as marginal. Monday and Tuesday are lumpy with fresh cross-shore winds. Wednesday morning drops to 4ft with onshore wind – skip it.
Thursday afternoon the 6th is a sneaky good one. Swell drops to 2ft, but wind goes glassy – just 3 mph from the north. Energy is 538 (weak), but it’s that long 16-second SW groundswell. Tiny and perfect for a longboard.
Friday afternoon the 7th is the standout. Swell builds back to 6ft from the SW with a 15-second period and energy of 1767 (moderate). Wind is a light 6 mph offshore from the NNE. Clean, groomed lines – this is for experienced surfers. Mark it.
Saturday the 8th has 5ft clean swell but wind jumps to 19-22 mph cross-off, so a bit bumpy. Sunday the 9th is near gale force – forget it. Monday the 10th brings a huge spike to 12ft and 10ft onshore, with energy hitting 11182 (very strong). Too big and messy for paddling – kite stuff.
From Wednesday the 12th to Saturday the 15th, there’s big SW swell (10ft to 15ft) with 15-17 second periods and very strong energy. Notes say it’s too big for this break – expert only, and even then, be careful. Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th fade to 5-5ft but with onshore wind.
Best call: Friday afternoon the 7th. Second pick: Thursday the 6th for a glassy small one. Rest is average or worse.
Rusty.

Information about the Rye Ocean Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Rye Ocean Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Rye Ocean Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Rye Ocean Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Rye Ocean Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Rye Ocean Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
