1
Check your home forecast
Start with one forecast region and activity. Home keeps the evening forecast useful through 8 PM, then looks ahead to tomorrow while the buoy matches continue to reflect current observations.
How it works
Where should I surf right now?
Scoring Waves combines regional forecasts, current buoy observations, and activity-specific break filters so you can move from a quick answer to a real plan.
2
Explore the regional detail
Open Forecasts to start near your primary region—or your current location when you choose—then drag through a 16-day height outlook, follow connected swells and their synchronized wind/swell table, and compare matching breaks.
3
Plan in an Outlook
Save the region, activity, and exact break choices into an isolated Outlook draft. Set weekly availability, then choose one break or hide a dated slot from either the Calendar or detailed conditions.
What the labels mean
Estimated surf height is calculated from forecast swell components and direction.
Observed buoy height is an offshore instrument reading. “Buoy-informed conditions” uses a recent, complete observation as evidence; it is not a beach measurement.
Missing tide or wind stays visible as unavailable and does not invent a zero value. Forecasts remain estimates, so check warnings and local knowledge.
More tools
Forecasts and Breaks start near your saved region without asking for location on arrival. If permission is already granted, or you choose “Use my location,” exact coordinates are used only for the current directory view. Buoys show live regional observations. The former Breakfinder explorer remains available through existing direct links for compatibility.
