Where and when should I foil today? eFoilgc answers that for 98 spots across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria — from Noosa to the Gold Coast, Byron, the Mid North Coast, Sydney, the Illawarra, Melbourne, Geelong, the Mornington Peninsula and Phillip Island. Built by eFoilgc, the Gold Coast foil school whose founder has been foiling since 2012. CONDITIONS, RATED FOR FOILING Wind, swell, period and direction become a rating out of 100 for every spot. Four tabs — eFoil, Wing / Kite, Prone / SUP and Downwind — each scored the way that sport actually rides. A kite foil flies in far less wind than a wing, so on the shared tab the app scores both and tells you which suits the day: "Best as Kite", with the other score underneath. Verdicts read Firing, Good, Challenging, Expert or Poor, with the reasons behind every number. - Rated for you. Set your level once — Beginner to Expert — and every spot re-rates to match. - Safety limits built in. Strong offshore wind, waves beyond your level and storms in the forecast all cap the score. - Sea state in detail: wave height and period, with swell and wind chop shown separately. - Water temperature at every spot, from the nearest Queensland Government wave buoy or NOAA satellite sea-temperature data, with wetsuit guidance. - Tide times and a 24- or 48-hour tide curve for 45 spots. - Forecast charts for the next 24 or 48 hours. Press and hold any chart to read the exact wind, sea or tide at that time. - Best spots nearby: the top-rated spots around you right now, one tap away. - Downwind runs listed as their own spots, rated for the run. - Live cams at 14 spots, including NSW Government coastal cameras. - Local rules where they matter: eFoil and powered-craft notes on flat-water spots in NSW and Victoria. - Your nearest spot in one tap. Location is optional and never leaves your phone. - Wave heights in feet or metres. Light, dark and system themes. - Know a spot foilers ride? Suggest it from the spot list.
