About Free Surf Forecast
Free 7-day surf forecast. No ads, no sign-up.
The Idea
Free Surf Forecast is a dashboard you can keep open 24/7 to know exactly what's happening at your local break. Wave height, period, direction, wind, tides, buoy data, live cameras — everything on one screen, updated continuously, and completely free.
Data-Forward Forecasting
Most surf forecast sites bury the actual data behind editorial opinions or paywalls. We take the opposite approach: raw data from NOAA, NDBC, CDIP, and Open-Meteo presented directly alongside human-readable interpretations so you can make your own call. Session scoring, swell classification, and condition ratings are all transparent — you can see exactly how every number is calculated.
Open Source
The entire codebase is public on GitHub. The frontend, backend, scoring algorithms, data pipelines — all of it. If you want to understand how a forecast is generated, suggest a feature, or run your own instance, the code is there.
