What makes it different

We built what we wanted to use

📊

Clean data

Swell height, period, direction, wind, and tides. Just the essential info, clearly presented.

🤝

Community first

Help others score by sharing session reports. The more the community contributes, the better it gets.

Early beta feedback

"The local reports are actually useful. Checked it yesterday morning and decided to wait 2 hours — ended up scoring."

Jake — North Shore

"Finally something that just shows me the forecast without trying to sell me a premium subscription every five seconds."

Sarah — Santa Cruz

"Super clean interface. Loads fast on my phone even when I'm checking it from the parking lot with spotty service."

Mike — Gold Coast

Common questions

Yes, completely free during beta. No credit card required. We're planning to add optional premium features later, but the core forecast and local reports will stay free.
Starting with California, Hawaii, East Coast USA, Australia, and Indonesia. We're adding more spots based on where our beta users are. You can request your local break during signup.
After surfing, you can share a quick report on current conditions. Keep it simple — wave quality, crowd level, anything noteworthy. It helps others decide if it's worth the drive.
Beta opens January 2026. We're starting with a limited group to make sure everything works smoothly. Sign up to get early access.
