## Description

Every California spot ranked by how good it is right now — open the app, read one line, go.

Swell answers one question: is it any good right now?

Open the app and every spot is already ranked by conditions — wave height, swell period, and whether the wind is offshore or blowing it out. No hunting through tabs, no video ads before a cam loads, no scrolling past a week of numbers to find today.

WHAT YOU GET

• Every spot ranked, right now. The list sorts itself by conditions, so the best wave on the coast is at the top before you've tapped anything.
• A plain verdict. Firing, fun, marginal, blown out — read it at a glance from the parking lot.
• Swell and wind that mean something. Height, period, and direction, with the wind judged against the way the beach actually faces.
• Real tides. Live NOAA station data with highs and lows charted for the day.
• A five-day look ahead, so you know when to take the morning off.
• A map of the coast. Every spot pinned with its live height and verdict.
• Your quiver. Log your boards and sessions, and keep them on your profile.
• A home screen widget with your top spot's conditions at a glance.
• Your list, your order. Delete the spots you'll never surf, drag the rest into the order you care about.

21 California spots, from Bolinas down to La Jolla. All of it free.

HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT ISN'T

No ads. No cams. No feed, no social, no streaks. No subscription — everything in the app is free. An account is optional: skip it entirely, or sign in (with Apple or email) if you want your profile backed up.

WHERE THE NUMBERS COME FROM

Swell forecasts come from Scripps CDIP nearshore models and Open-Meteo. Wind comes from Open-Meteo. Tide predictions and water levels come from NOAA CO-OPS stations. Public data, fetched straight to your phone.
