What's New in Swell Intel

1.6.1

October 23, 2026

• A swell map on your 6 AM call. The morning call now carries a small map of today's swell for your area. Press and hold the notification to see the whole coast. • A smarter morning call. When your break isn't looking good but a spot within about an hour and a half is, the call names it. When nothing's on nearby, it tells you when your next Good day is coming. • Today at a glance. The Now view shows today as a mini surf chart, with the wind and its speed for every hour. • Wind on the daily strip. Each day shows its wind arrow and mph, the compass shows the wind, and swells that can't reach your beach are left off. • A clearer Free vs Premium comparison, in light and dark mode. • Fixes: the free trial no longer goes missing when the App Store is slow to answer, and a few sign-in errors are gone.

Top Notch

Best surf forecast app out there right now. Great user friendly maps and use of detail. My go to

A Must Have Tool for Any Surfer

In the time I have used this app, it has not disappointed.
The app’s layout is very user friendly, showing the crucial information in a simple easy to digest manner without any fluff, letting me know what I need to know at just a glance.
But for those who want more granular info or future insights just one tap brings you to all the information you could want when planning your next trip to the beach. I have been impressed with the accuracy of the data, and the useful insights it gives to surfers both beginner and professional. I highly recommend this app both to surfers and beach-goers alike, as it will save you the headache and used gas of going to a spot on a sub-par day.

Accuracy is king!

Seems super accurate. I’ve used it in various locations east and west coast USA. Great app in a sea of wannabes

Simple and accurate

What I like most is how simple it is. I get key info in seconds. It’s really helpful for planning surf sessions without overcomplicating it. It’s been consistent with the swell reports and saves me from bouncing between weather apps.

My fav surfing app
