Surf Sage: Surf Report & Waves

Every wave on Earth on one live map: real NOAA buoys, an objective 0–100 score for every break, and automatic wave-counting while you surf. Free to download.

Some apps show you a forecast. SurfSage treats the ocean like the main attraction.

SurfSage puts every ocean on one beautiful, live map — wave heights refreshed hourly from NOAA's global model, real NOAA buoys drawn on top as ground truth, and an objective 0–100 conditions score for every named break. Then it does what no forecast app does: it records your session and counts your waves automatically.

Free, no account, no ads.

THE LIVE MAP

• Global wave-height field, refreshed every hour
• Tap any patch of ocean for height, period, direction, wind, energy, and each individual swell train
• Real NDBC buoys with live waves, period, water temp, and wind
• Rewind 72 hours or scrub 72 hours into the forecast

AN OBJECTIVE CONDITIONS SCORE

• A live 0–100 score and Poor→Prime rating for every break
• Built from the nearest buoy's wave height, swell period, wind, and water temp — with the plain-English reasons behind it
• The same engine that powers the Snoflo web report

STRAVA FOR SURFING

• Hit record and paddle out — SurfSage detects each ride and counts your waves automatically
• Tracks distance, longest ride, top speed, and calories
• A private logbook and a heatmap of everywhere you've surfed

MORE

• Swell alerts: one ping when a saved break hits the quality you want (max one per spot per day)
• At-the-water reports: anonymous, verified condition reports from people actually at the coast
• Near you: the closest breaks and buoys, with live wave heights

FREE vs PRO Free forever: the global wave map, buoys, conditions score, reports, and up to 3 saved spots, 3 alerts, and 3 recorded sessions. SurfSage Pro ($3.99/month or $24.99/year): unlimited spots, alerts, and sessions, plus the Energy, Wind, and Current map layers.

BUILT ON PUBLIC DATA, DONE RIGHT Wave, buoy, and current data come straight from NOAA. No accounts, no trackers, no ads — your exact location is never stored, and your logbook is yours alone.

SurfSage is for recreation and situational awareness, not navigation or marine safety. Conditions and scores are estimates from public NOAA data; what actually breaks depends on the tide and the bottom, so always make your own call on the water. For official marine forecasts and warnings, consult NOAA/NWS.

Waves for the Wise.
