About
Know the tide, and the beach changes.
The same beach can be great at high tide and risky at low. wave-log pairs your activity — surfing, snorkeling, swimming, or beach rest — with the tide stage to tell you, in time rather than stars, whether a beach works right now or at a moment you choose.
Three regions in one app: Korea, Okinawa (Japan), and Bali (Indonesia). From surf in Busan and Yangyang to a trip in Okinawa or Bali, cross-border and continuous.
Main features
- Activity × tide suitability: pick surfing, snorkeling, swimming, or beach rest, and the map keeps only the beaches that suit it right now.
- Tide clock: see the time to the next high or low at a glance, with the ebb/flow and spring/neap stage.
- Three-second live wave logs: no photo uploads — just a three-second clip shot on site. The tide at posting time is stamped in, and the video can't be edited, so it's exactly what you saw.
- Wave ratings and beach masters: recent conditions from people who were there become your call for today. Log enough at one beach to appear as its master on the map.
- Four-axis search: find beaches by name, region, address, or tag — even qualities like "quiet beach." Save the ones you like to My Beaches.
What's inside now
- 306 curated beaches, 3,672 activity × tide suitability data points, real cover photos.

What's New in wave
1.2.0
August 16, 2026
Beaches now open on the info tab — suitability and tide first. A new directions button opens your maps app. Check-in is smoother. You'll know before filming when you can check in again, uploads show their progress and can be stopped, and a failed upload keeps your clip so you can send it later. Location is only asked for after we explain why. Faint text is darker and easier to read.
