Who out there rips?

We now do with RIPS

The Recurrent Improvement Predictor for Surfers

Our new AI tool will deliver the most accurate surf predictions in the world. This AI-powered system analyzes 120 forecasts every day, learning from a month or more of historical data – including wave height, period, wind, and tide – to constantly refine its predictions. RIPS identifies patterns and corrects its own mistakes, leading to significantly improved accuracy compared to traditional forecasting methods. We’re currently testing RIPS at select surf breaks around the world and preparing for a spring launch. Join the wave forecasting revolution and get ready to experience the future of surf reports!

Wave Tables

Color-coded tables displaying wave and wind data from the latest forecast offer a highly concise method for visualizing detailed near-term forecasts, including wind shifts, building seas, and chop development. Surf Height is based on estimated surf-zone energy from the NOAA WaveWatch III nearshore prediction using a multivariate analysis. It is not direct model output.

SpaghettiSurf1

Ensemble Case 1

  1. The last 8 wave model runs are nearly identical, giving us high confidence in an upcoming swell.

  2. Surfable waves are expected, but timing and size remain uncertain. Further model runs may provide more clarity

  3. Wave models are showing mixed results, ranging from flat to small surf. However, the latest update is looking more promising for some waves.

  4. Wave prediction is highly uncertain right now. It’s important to be aware of this lack of confidence, something many surf forecasts don’t explicitly address.

SpaghettiSurf2

Ensemble Case 2

  1. Good agreement in the near-term. Trending slighly smaller two days out. Big long-period swell peaking the next day and receding over the next 4 days.

  2. Likely long-period swell event 7 days out, but the model has not focused on the exact size yet.

  3. After potential event 2 there is little confidence in the extended forecast beyond 9-10 days.

  4. Easily assess wind conditions with our wind favorability index! This tool maps wind speed and direction relative to the coast, giving you a clear picture of what to expect. East coast of Barbados is expecting persistent easterly trade winds except a few days of the first falling swell that look like prime opportunities.

SpaghettiSurf3

Ensemble Case 2

  1. Despite the lack of waves, this demonstrates the reliability of the model at times. It has consistently predicted these flat conditions for two weeks, giving us greater confidence in its accuracy for flat spells.

  2. Most surf forecasts only show one prediction, even when there’s a lot of uncertainty. Here, we see a range of possibilities and little confidence, from small waves to something more significant. This transparency helps you longer-term plan your surf sessions.
