Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet. Water's about 58°F, right around the norm. We've got a solid SW groundswell coming, but you'll have to show some patience.
Tuesday the 7th is a wash with a funky cross breeze. The real fun starts Wednesday morning, July 8th. Clean offshore wind from the ENE at 10 km/h, a 5-foot SW swell with an 18-second period. This is proper, long-period groundswell and the combined energy is reading 2524 - that's got some grunt. This spot is a beach and reef setup, and that long period could make it race down the line on the reef but might make the beachies a bit straight. Wednesday afternoon gets bigger, around 7 feet, but the cross-shore wind messes it up a bit, and that size starts to get heavy for the average surfer.
Thursday the 9th is the pick for the week. Thursday morning is clean and cross-offshore on a 5-foot swell. Then Thursday afternoon, the wind goes glassy. That's perfect. The swell is around 4 feet, but it's clean and workable. Wave energy is moderate at 937.
Friday the 10th is also a goer. Clean all day with a 5-foot swell and light offshore breezes.
If you're a charger, though, you want Wednesday morning, July 16th. We're talking an 8-foot SW swell with a 16-second period and a clean, cross-offshore breeze. The combined swell energy is 3339, and it's hitting from the ideal SW direction. That's big, powerful, and clean. But at 8 feet with that long period, this is strictly for experts. It will be big and it will be heavy.
Look, the rest of the second week is messy. We get a 13-foot spike on the 13th, but it's blown out by strong cross-onshore winds. From the 19th on, it's mostly just wind slop. Save your energy.
The standout is Thursday afternoon the 9th for a clean, mellow session. The heavy hitter is the morning of July 16th. That one's got your name on it if you've got the nerve.

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.
