Pacific coast surf forecasting
The coast shapes every wave.
We model the coast.
We model the coast.
Headland shadows, bathymetry, wind shelter, and tide — researched spot by spot, not pulled from a regional average, then checked against what real buoys actually measured.
The method
Shadow arcs
Every headland, point, and jetty blocks swell from specific compass directions — mapped per spot, not guessed from a regional average.
Bathymetry
The seafloor shapes how swell steepens as it reaches shore, built into every break-height estimate.
Wind shelter
Local terrain blocks wind differently than it blocks swell — each spot gets its own real wind-shelter geometry.
Ground truth
Forecasts get checked against what real NOAA buoys actually measured, not just what a model predicted would happen.
Where we cover
154 real spots, researched one at a time.
