What it looks at

The same things a seasoned local checks. Done for you, for every site.

Swell

Height, period, and direction, shaped by each site’s exposure and shelter. A sheltered cove and an open point get very different calls from the same swell.

Wind

Speed and gusts, and what they are doing to the surface right now and over the next week.

Tide

State and timing from the nearest NOAA station in US waters, so you can plan the slack.

Current and temperature

Ocean current strength and sea surface temperature, so you know what to wear and whether to expect a drift.

Visibility

Recent rain and chop, for an honest visibility estimate rather than a hopeful one.

16,000 sites, 156 countries

A worldwide catalogue with every coordinate snapped into the water and its exposure solved from the real coastline. Or press and hold the map anywhere on the coast.

Built for newer divers

Never learned to read a marine forecast? You don’t have to.

Every rating breaks down into plain-English factor cards: how the swell is hitting this particular site, what the wind is doing to the surface, where the tide is. You can see which one is the problem today.

Diveable also finds the best daylight windows over the next seven days, so a poor morning can still turn into a good afternoon.

A fixed recipe over live data. No mood, no marketing.

The rating comes from a deterministic, unit-tested scoring engine, never from an AI. Hard stops for thunderstorms, big surf, and strong current override everything else.

Tap “The raw numbers” on any spot to see every reading behind the score, and “Don’t dive” means exactly that.

Know a spot we don’t?

Suggest it. We check it before anyone sees it.

Every suggestion is checked against public map data, the local coastline, and the marine forecast grid before it goes on the map for everyone. We tell you what we found either way.
