About Current
Current is a surf forecast built in Huntington Beach by a surfer, and an ongoing research project in physics-based surf forecasting.
Forecasting is drifting toward black boxes. We're going the other way.
What Current is
Free 10-day surf forecasts for 1000+ spots in 20 states, from Hawaii to Maine, in the iPhone app and on this site. Every number comes from a novel physics simulation of how swell becomes rideable surf, so every number has a physical reason behind it. No AI or machine learning anywhere in the forecast. How the forecast is made.
Who makes it
Built in Huntington Beach by a surfer. An ongoing research project. The subscription funds the research; the research improves the forecast.
Honest limits
Current is under active development and is validated against buoys and real sessions. Forecasts are estimates. Never rely on them for safety; for rip current risk and beach hazards, check the National Weather Service. Missing a spot? Request it.
