Sharing the Stoke
From the App Store …
Used this all since their beta release and been absolutely loving it. The fact that you can set a spot anywhere in the world and see the forecast for it it’s so helpful, specially for those who love the feeling of the search and score some gems. Also the logbook feature has been so helpful to be able to make the right call on certain swells, never disappoints!
This is by far one of the best Surfer apps I have ever used! So much information at your fingertips, and I love how you can select surf destinations all over the world.
My new forecast app! Absolutely loving it since we were a few beta testers 🤙🏻 keep it up! Cheers from Spain! 🇪🇸
Gran aplicación para surfers
Excellent app! Intuitive actions, extensive customization, and easy-to-read and reliable forecasts.
Exactly what I was missing with Surfline. SwellScope lets me identify what surf I like and then lets me know if it’s hitting the same or similar. Watching cams or looking at star reviews doesn’t help as much as that.
Great app, shows you the conditions and allows you to log sessions so you can see how the conditions compare to previous days. Dev is also awesome with communication and giving feedback on updates. 10/10⭐️
Use this for my place in Nica, the Bahamas and it is spot on. Great new visual tools to plan for any spot on the planet.
Genuinely so easy to use and set up spots, very user friendly, all around great app
Ottima
I never thought a forecast website could solve the secret spot dilemma up until this. I can set my spot and it’s just set for myself, nobody else gets to see it! What more do you want. Let’s go!
Great app.. you can personalize your favorite spots.. and don’t forget to hit the “factors” button on your spots.. Great job!
Love being able to really take control of my own surf, better understand the local spots, and feel more in tune with the conditions wherever I am. Awesome app!
I am a new surfer, and this app is tremendously empowering.
I am a lifeguard and I use this app daily to get further information on the conditions and predictions on future conditions, I have been using this since the beta release and I recommend it to all the lifeguards I work with because of the level of detail it goes into!
Forecasting every spot out there, yourself. What a dream.
Just downloaded (lifetime backer from kickstarter) and really impressed. Still have yet to get out, but really unique how you are able to select the spot and tailor it. Get insight provided for the experienced swell tracker, and also simple enough for someone that is new. I was tired of how far Surfline is off at my local swell (commentary does not match my local break at all) and mainly use it for the cams.
Getting a forecast for any point on the map is amazing. Loving the swell & wind direction indicators- very easy to use!
From the Google Play Store …
This app is phenomenal, the developer has put so much thought into the usage, usability and UI design. The forecasts are accurate and intuitive. Would definitely recommend it.
Gran aplicación. en una única vista se puede ver de una manera sencilla el pronóstico. Además, cuenta con un mapa grande en el cual se puede visualizar de manera animada como pega el swell en el spot. Lo mejor es que se puede ajustar para cada spot de donde recibe mejor el swell y además registrar las condiciones de como estuvo la sesión de surf de manera de poder predecir mejor a futuro. La recomiendo.
My go to for forecasting and Journaling my sessions. Each and every time I have doubt about a certain condition, the feature that shows me the similar sessions from the past is the best feature ever!
awesome to have an app that I can log my sessions. easy to use with lots of helpful info on wind direction swell and waves. also cool as it has temp for both air and water. I like how you have the option to share with friends or keep the spot a secret.
visual representation of swell and wind is very helpful. also being able to set conditions for good waves at each spot in watch list is really good
Super useful for logging surf sessions! My current favourite surfing app!
Great app! The fact that you can create and save your own spots, write logbook entries about them and see all the data in a neat visualization is amazing! Only thing missing for me is a map overview of your spots instead of a list. Thanks for building this app!
It is the best surfing app!! Recommend it.
go to surf app, yessir!!
the best surfing app I ever used!
gotta love my secret spots
Such a clean way of presenting everything I want to check for seeing what's up down the beach. By far the best app I've had for the surf
A great forecasting app that is customizable and with tons of new features being added. Truly a surfers dream.
From our Facebook Group …
This has got to be probably the best surfing app I’ve ever used and experienced in my entire life! Intuitive easy use and to read, and more importantly accurate!
Has a great interface to show wind and swell height, direction, period and energy all at once. Ability to set your own swell direction window angles is great and found the predictions to be reliable on the Aus East Coast.
Swell Scope is the best designed surf forecast app I've seen.
Surf app with top tier customization, shows swells and wind accurately with a neat graphic, while being able to place custom breaks!
Bye bye Windguru, welcome SwellScope! An app that show you your favorite spot like you’ll never see it on others apps!
Cya, Surflie! SwellScope’s not only super easy to use, it looks gorgeous and makes correlating swell and wind direction something you can do in a flash. Can’t recommend this app highly enough! 🔥
I use this app on a daily to know what the waves are SPECIFICALLY doing which really helps me choose where to surf. It really goes in depth way more than other forecast apps and really feels special to your surf breaks. 🔥❤️ keep the amazing work up!
Unlike most surf apps that rely on automated weather data and algorithms, this one helps you build your own surf intuition. With a built-in logbook and forecast tools, it encourages you to trust your experience and local knowledge rather than machine predictions. Epic!
Surf app with top tier customization, shows swells and wind accurately with a neat graphic, while being able to place custom breaks!
I'm just learning how to surf and this app has been amazing, it's simple and sleek!
Swell scope shows me accurate surf forecast!
