Be your own surf forecaster

A great way to learn more about weather and surf conditions and decide for yourself where the surf is rather than relying on cams or other people’s opinion. No🐑 here

The Surfline Killer

A breath of fresh air in todays forecasting industry. This app puts the decision back into the surfers hands, and allows you to learn how to read the data produced by forecast models. This app is worth every penny. The lead developer is constantly improving the app, and is very receptive to suggestions.

Cool concept

Mandatory subscription required to use this app past the 30 day trial. Won’t be using it due to that. But the overall idea is cool.

10/10

Great App with lots of thought put into it. Clean UI and ran by people WHO CARE.

Worth it

Exactly what I was missing with Surfline. SwellScope lets me identify what surf I like and then lets me know if it’s hitting the same or similar. Watching cams or looking at star reviews doesn’t help as much as that.

Awesome

Great app, shows you the conditions and allows you to log sessions so you can see how the conditions compare to previous days. Dev is also awesome with communication and giving feedback on updates. 10/10⭐️

Amazing Visual Surf Reports

🤙🔥

Become the master of your own surf calls

I never thought a forecast website could solve the secret spot dilemma up until this. I can set my spot and it’s just set for myself, nobody else gets to see it! What more do you want. Let’s go!

Good and bad

Great tools for surf and wind direction etc but condition reports constantly “Excellent” or “good” at worst. Even when condition are definitely bad

Uniquely helpful

My primary source before heading out. I have to drive a minimum hour and a hour to reach a surf spot, swell scope helps me pick the best spots with information that’s easy to understand and custom to my spots.

My only wish list item is being able to locate spots a bit faster, a Google Maps integration of some sort would go a long ways but I love Swell Scope all the same

Keep it up ty

Keep grinding ty

Excelente!

O app facilita muito a interpretação das ondas. A análise com base nos registros de usuários e toda visualização das previsões são ótimas tbm. Acho o preço salgado para o Brasil, poderia ter uma versão mais simples gratuita.

Loving it!

I am a new surfer, and this app is tremendously empowering.

Amazing app!

I am a lifeguard and I use this app daily to get further information on the conditions and predictions on future conditions, I have been using this since the beta release and I recommend it to all the lifeguards I work with because of the level of detail it goes into!

Response from developer

mate - thanks for leaving such a kind review! Honoured to have a lifeguard using the app - that's the coolest thing I've heard. Would love to hear more about how you're using it if you're keen to reach out on email (chris@swell-scope.com) or instagram!

Best surf app you could get

Genuinely so easy to use and set up spots, very user friendly, all around great app

My new forecast app!

Absolutely loving it since we were a few beta testers 🤙🏻 keep it up! Cheers from Spain! 🇪🇸

Love Swell Scope

This is by far one of the best Surfer apps I have ever used! So much information at your fingertips, and I love how you can select surf destinations all over the world.

Response from developer

Hey thanks for the awesome review! Appreciate you giving this app a go :) - Chris, Developer

Nice New Surf Tool

Use this for my place in Nica, the Bahamas and it is spot on. Great new visual tools to plan for any spot on the planet.

Best surf forecast app out there

Forecasting every spot out there, yourself. What a dream.

Looks great!

Just downloaded (lifetime backer from kickstarter) and really impressed. Still have yet to get out, but really unique how you are able to select the spot and tailor it. Get insight provided for the experienced swell tracker, and also simple enough for someone that is new. I was tired of how far Surfline is off at my local swell (commentary does not match my local break at all) and mainly use it for the cams.
