FilmedSurfForecast + surf log, free

You've never really seen yourself surf.

Every session you paddle out for is logged automatically — and as filmers join your break, a wave from that session can become real footage of you. The 7-day forecast and surf log are free, from day one.

The payoff

Real footage of you, surfing.

You never have to know who filmed you, or scroll through hours of clips. Your logged sessions quietly surface the footage that's you — paired by exactly where and when you were in the water.

1

It finds you

GPS + time — never face recognition — pairs a filmer's footage with your session. Your clips appear on their own.

2

See it before you pay

Every clip plays a watermarked preview — spot your wetsuit, your board, then decide.

3

Take only your wave

Confirm "this is me" and the clean clip is yours — from ¥300, set by the filmer. Download it, keep it, share it. No subscription, ever.

Real footage of you, surfing.

The more filmers shoot your break, the more of your own waves you'll find here.

Surf forecast

The people who just got out are in your forecast.

Seven days out — plus today's AI surf forecast. And the voices of the people who just got out are added on top.

The surf forecast is live for Shonan and part of Shizuoka to start — more areas rolling out.

1

Ask four, take the middle

We pull four of the world's wave forecasts at once and take the value in the middle — steadier than trusting any one of them. On days the four disagree we don't quietly pick the nicest one: the app says models differ on size. A day nobody can call should look like a day nobody can call.

2

Right now? Ask the buoy.

When a wave buoy near the spot is reporting fresh, the current size comes off what the buoy is actually measuring — not off a forecast. Forecasts talk it up. The water doesn't.

3

Your beach, not your coastline

Out at sea the swell gets hidden behind islands and headlands, bends as it comes in, and stands up in the shallows before it finally breaks in front of you. We work that path out beach by beach, off real map data, so the number is the face that actually breaks there.

4

Whoever just got out knows

Surfers walking out of the water leave one tap behind — glassy, crowded, long sets, strong current. The last three hours of that folds into the read for whoever paddles out next. No model knows the lineup is crowded. When nobody has reported, there's nothing there, and we don't pretend otherwise.

The people who just got out are in your forecast.
Even with no network yet

A reason to open it even on days with no filmer.

Before any filmer shows up, every session logs itself for you, hands-free — just show up and surf.

And by the time a season has built up, it knows the wind, the size and the tide your ★4+ days had in common. Not a generic rule about what good surf is — your own answer, learned from your own ratings.

Your year in surf — sessions by month, and the conditions your ★4+ days share
GPS does the work

A geofence at your break starts and ends every session for you — hands-free. And that same GPS × time is exactly what later matches a filmer's footage to you (never face recognition).

Apple Watch — optional, better odds

Not required — the app works fully without it. But wear one and your exact time in the water is pinned, so your sessions match a filmer's footage more often — better odds of getting your clip.

Pricing

Free to use. Pay only when you actually get a clip.

Never worry about being charged in a month no clip of yours turned up.
