The wave you'll
actually surf.
Every forecast tells you what the ocean is doing. SurfSeer tells you what you'll be riding — how high the face stands up in front of you, how it breaks, and whether it's worth the drive.
Face height, not wave back. Scaled to your height and your board. No decoding, no regional dialects.
Seven days free on every new account. One spot to start.
Surf height is a code, not a measurement.
Traditional surf reporting measures the back of the wave. A "two foot" wave under that convention has a face around twice that — roughly head-high on an average adult.
Three foot means one thing on a Hawaiian report, another on an Australian one, another again from the bloke in the car park. Two surfers can read the same forecast and picture completely different days.
SurfSeer reports the face. The bit you actually ride.
Four steps, then it just gets sharper.
Set up a spot once. From then on it's open the app, read the face, decide.
Add your spot
Drop a pin, paste a plus code, or just name it. SurfSeer reads the coastline and the sea floor beneath the break.
Set what only locals know
The tide it needs, the wind it survives, the swell direction that switches it on — set on the spot compass.
Read the face
Predicted face height, shape, and a quality score with the reasons behind it. Scaled to your height and board.
Log it, and it sharpens
Rate how the prediction matched what you surfed. Every session tunes the model for that spot.
One spot. Seven days. Pick a day.
Wreck Point — a sand-bottomed beach break facing east-south-east. Sample data, real presentation. Tap a day to see the read.
7-day forecast
Sample data for demonstration. Predictions are guidance, not a guarantee — your own judgement in the water still comes first.
Same swell. Different wave. Here's why.
The sea floor shapes the wave
A wave is made by what's underneath it. SurfSeer reads the sea floor beneath your break and models how that bottom shapes the breaking face.
A sand-bottomed beach break, a shallow reef, a rocky point — same swell, three completely different waves. That's what lets SurfSeer speak about shape, not just height: where it stands up, where it throws, whether it walls, crumbles or barrels.
Same swell. Different wave.
The sea floor decides how a wave breaks. SurfSeer calls the shape as well as the size — every card below is drawn to the same scale, against the same 175 cm surfer.
Soft rollers
~0.9 m faceCrumbly and forgiving, waist-high on a 175 cm surfer. The day you take the fish out.
Fun walls
~1.3 m faceChest-high open faces with room to move. The everyone's-happy wave.
Punchy walls
~1.75 m faceHead-high on you, standing up with push. Worth rearranging a morning for.
Hollow barrels
~2.3 m faceOverhead and throwing over a shallow bottom. Know before you go.
Same scale on every card. Dashed lines at 1 m and 1.75 m — head-high on a 175 cm surfer.
The difference between glass and slop
Wind direction and strength and the wider weather pattern are folded into the face prediction — not reported as separate numbers for you to reconcile.
Offshore 8kt, not "optimal conditions".
Encoded, not replaced
Every spot has a rule only the regulars know. Add it to your spot and the model takes it into account. We're not replacing local knowledge — we're capturing it.
Your break, your rules, applied every day.
It remembers the good ones
Every logged session makes the model sharper. Over time SurfSeer works out what you rate — not what the forecast rates — and tells you when it's coming back.
"Your three best sessions shared these conditions. They're lining up Thursday."
Three foot on you means everything
Your height and the boards you ride are part of the prediction, so the face is rendered against your own frame. Then calibrate it after each session — mark a prediction over or under, and by how much.
A quick pass, or a full drill-down on every variable.
Your key. Your model. Your data.
The Seer — SurfSeer's conversational read on your spots — runs on an AI provider you choose, with a key you own. Pick the vendor, pick the model tier, run it lean or run the best available.
Built like an instrument, not a weather widget.

Quality score, explained
One score with a full factor breakdown: swell, wind, tide, period, alignment.
Best-session window
When to actually paddle out across the forecast horizon, not just the peak number.
Wave shape and type
How it will break, drawn from the spot's floor type and profile.
