Real-Time vs Forecast
Learn how we scoreReal-Time mode shows the latest NOAA buoy observation timestamp for this spot.

Forecast mode shows modeled daily windows, not future measured buoy readings.
Forecast mode is modeled guidance based on wave, wind, and tide trends for each spot.
How We Score Good Conditions
Transparent NOAA-based math, simplified for quick decisions.
Current score 16
1. Swell Energy
Wave height and period create the base energy, then we adjust for spot-facing direction.
17/100
2. Wind Quality
Offshore or side-off winds score better. Strong gust spread reduces confidence.
18/100
3. Tide Fit
Each spot has preferred tide windows. Tide can boost or trim the final total.
-10% modifier
Good: 70-100
Fair: 40-69
Poor: 0-39
Scoring Updates
We've updated the scoring so wave energy drives the rating first, with wind and tide acting as quality modifiers. Small or short-period swell is now capped from rating too high, even during clean offshore wind windows. We also increased penalties for gusty, unstable wind to better match real lineup quality.
