Surf Agent gives you honest, AI-powered surf forecasts for 200+ spots across California, Oregon, Washington, and the East Coast — then tells you which of YOUR boards to ride. Instead of squinting at raw charts, you get a clear, ranked read on where it's actually worth paddling out, written like a knowledgeable friend who checked the buoys for you. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Real data, not just a model. Every forecast cross-references live NOAA buoy readings (both offshore and nearshore), National Weather Service hyperlocal wind, NOAA tide predictions, and Open-Meteo swell — reconciled into one honest rating. • Star-rated & ranked. Pick your spots and a time, and Surf Agent ranks them so you know where to go. Ratings are absolute and honest — if it's flat or blown out, it says so. • Personalized board recommendations. Add your quiver (shortboard, fish, mid-length, longboard, and more) and an optional rider profile (height, weight, skill). For each spot, Surf Agent recommends the single best board to ride for those exact conditions — factoring in the spot's character and your size. • Dawn patrol to a week out. Check conditions right now or plan up to 7 days ahead. • Built for surfers. Offshore vs. nearshore buoy weighting, swell-direction awareness, tide timing — the details that actually decide whether it's good. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a free account. 2. Pick a state/area, your spots, and when you want to surf. 3. Get ranked forecasts with conditions, a star rating, and a board pick per spot. 4. Add your boards and profile to sharpen the recommendations. Surf Agent combines public marine data with the Anthropic Claude AI to generate its forecasts. Conditions change fast — always check your local conditions and surf within your ability. Questions or feedback? Email derekwrobel@gmail.com
