Surfy Life

A modern surf forecasting platform with a clean visual interface and features that adapt to user preferences. Surfy Life is available on the web, Android & iOS.

surfylife screenshotSurfy.life is a modern surf forecasting platform designed to provide personalized wave and weather reports for surfers. Unlike traditional forecasting sites that can be cluttered with data, Surfy focuses on a clean, visual-first interface that adapts to individual preferences.

The site uses a proprietary metric called a "Stoke" score (e.g., 4.1 or 5.0). It's an at-a-glance rating that combines wave height, wind speed, and period to tell you how good the conditions are likely to be at a specific break.

Surf Life aggregates data from major meteorological sources—including NOAA, Open Meteo, and the German Weather Service (DWD)—to provide hyper-local conditions.

It highlights popular breaks such as:

Santa Cruz area: Steamer Lane, Pleasure Point, The Hook, and Cowell's.

San Francisco/Half Moon Bay: Ocean Beach and Mavericks.

Central Coast: Morro Rock, Pismo Beach, and Carmel.

Jax Beach Pier: North Side, South Side.

Surfy Life "learns what you like." By signing up, users can set preferences for their favorite spots, and the system provides "intelligent, personalized surf predictions" to help time sessions when conditions align with your specific riding style or skill level.

Instead of traditional passwords, the site uses "Magic Links" sent via email for secure, one-click login. The design is focused on elegant charts and removing the "guesswork" often found in more technical maritime forecasts.

Surfy Life is a streamlined tool for surfers who want a more intuitive, data-driven way to track local swell conditions without wading through complex nautical charts.
