## What is Current?

Current gives you physics-based surf forecasts for every break on the California coast. Current is part of a movement to create more accurate and detailed surf forecasts.

For any spot you can see:
• Set heights and how the waves break (spilling, plunging, and more)
• Swell partitions, wind, and tide on a scrollable timeline
• Lull duration, waves per set, % breaking, wave energy, and surf-zone current
• Water temperature so you know what wetsuit to bring

Today's forecast is free for every spot. Upgrade to Current Premium for multi-day forecasts, detailed surf-zone statistics, and map overlays.

Forecasts are estimates — always check real conditions and surf within your limits.

### 1/5 — Always money hungry

*2026-08-09*

At least surfline is FREE. sure u can see the forecast of how tall the waves and how good they are but u gotta pay a subscription for the entire forecast. absolutely ridiculous

**Developer response:** Hi, our general forecast is actually completely free and almost identical to what you would get on Surfline who charges $70 with ads ($120 without ads) in their yearly for anything past 10 days out. We run expensive models to provide high accuracy and more statistics about the surf than any other forecasting software on the market and charge just $2.50/month in our yearly plan to support the cost of operation for these added statistics only. Our app is completely usable free and you get what almost any other app on the market gives you without paying anything. Hope this clears things up for you.
