The best surf today
155 spots ranked by surf conditions. Swell quality, wind, alignment and luck factor, updated every 3 hours.
Today's podium
Weather data from Open-Meteo, refreshed every 3 hours.
How the score works
Each spot gets a multiplicative score out of 100 from the factors on the right. Open a location to see its hourly scores, best window and the factors shaping the result.
Wave energyDriver
Combines primary and secondary swell height and period against each spot's configured sweet range. Too little energy stays flat, while oversized swell tapers by break type.
Direction and breakDriver
Compares swell direction with the spot's facing and break type. Long-period swell gets a little more directional tolerance, and missing geometry is treated neutrally.
Surface and windDrivers
Wind-wave chop, wind direction, wind speed and gust consistency shape each hourly score. Glassy or suitable offshore conditions generally score best.
Tide and weatherContext
Configured tide preferences affect quality. Rain and visibility are bounded enjoyment modifiers, while safety indicators stay separate from the score.
Frequently asked questions
How often is this updated?
Each location is refreshed once every three hours. The catalogue runs in staggered slices, so locations do not all share one timestamp. This board reads the latest published snapshot.
How is the score calculated?
Each daylight hour gets a multiplicative score from wave energy, swell direction, chop, wind, gusts and tide, with bounded rain and visibility modifiers. The daily score is 70% the best three-hour window and 30% the daylight average. Safety indicators remain separate from the score.
Why isn't the biggest swell always the best score?
Bigger is not always better. Most surfers want head-high to slightly overhead waves, which is roughly 1.5m to 3m swell height at the buoy. Anything over 5m is specialist territory and the score reflects that, not raw size.
Where does the data come from?
Open-Meteo marine and weather forecasts, supplemented where a spot is mapped to supported buoy, tide or regional ocean sources.
What is the luck factor?
It compares today's conditions to the historical average for that spot at this time of year. A positive luck score means conditions are better than usual; negative means worse than typical.
Do the scores account for local knowledge?
Partly. The model uses stored spot facing, break type, swell range and tide preferences where configured. It cannot see changing banks, crowds, access, closures or everything visible on a local cam, so treat it as a comparison tool rather than a substitute for a local check.
What do the movement arrows mean?
They show rank change compared to the previous snapshot. Green up-arrows mean the spot climbed the leaderboard; red down-arrows mean it dropped.
