About Swell Scope — Surf Forecast

Swell Scope - the surf forecast app with no surf spots. Instead, you add your own custom surf breaks by dropping a pin anywhere in the world. Use first-of-their kind tools to setup the exposure of your spot in just a few seconds. Then jump into beautiful charts, animations, and visuals that show you the raw forecast data from the world’s premier weather models. After your session, auto-import the conditions into your journal and add your own detailed ratings for things like breaking-wave shape and surface cleanliness. Next time the conditions are similar, you’ll see your own ratings alongside the raw forecast data. Everything is designed so that you can make the call yourself, instead of relying on mysterious predictions and algorithms. My hope is to bring back the joy & excitement of learning your local, making the call, and chasing those special sessions. Over 4,000 people helped beta test Swell Scope throughout 2025!

What Swell Scope — Surf Forecast Is Used For

Swell Scope appears to be a weather-focused surf forecast app for people who want to check conditions at specific surf breaks. Based on the metadata, it is designed around custom spots rather than a built-in directory, so users may drop a pin anywhere in the world and review forecast data for that location. The app seems intended for surfers who compare swell, wind, tides, weather, and sunrise or sunset information before deciding whether to head out.

It also looks useful after a session, since the metadata mentions a surf journal that can auto-import conditions and let users add their own ratings. That means it may help track how the forecast matched real-world surf quality over time. The location permissions suggest it can use the device’s current position to support nearby forecasting or spot management, while network and storage permissions point to downloading data and saving journal content or app files. As a phone app, it seems built for checking conditions on the go rather than for large-screen use.
