Surf forecasts that read the break.

A surf forecast written like a note from a mate who knows the break. Every spot is judged on its own seabed and on what a satellite saw there on days like today.

• Reads each break. The reef or sandbank shapes the wave, so the forecast does too, using real depth and years of satellite passes.
• Several wave models side by side, so you can see where they agree.
• One score, 0 to 100, for the swell, period, direction, wind and tide that matter at that break.
• A map of the line. Where the wave is expected to break, drawn on the break itself.
