More Information | Rate Accuracy of This Model
Surfline's LOLA Swell Model is the ONLY global swell model that can separate individual swells to accurately calculate surf heights for any location on Earth. Every surf spot will only have a limited range of swells that produce good surf at that location. Compare the LOLA swell forecast with a spot's "Optimal Conditions" information and your own local knowledge to score the best surf.
The "Swell Rose" above is the only one of it's kind in the world. This shows the directions of all the incoming swells
(N=0° East=90° etc). If you mouse over the swell rose you can see detailed raw numbers of the underlying swells.
US Weather data comes from the WeatherUnderground array of personal weather stations. Data is near realtime. International weather comes from LOLAs high resolution models or WUG where possible.
Tides are generated using the most excellent Xtide system.

Last year BHM successfully sent two kids from South Los Angeles to Hawaii to participate in Hawaiian culture, surfing and additional learning experiences. BHM is an entirely volunteer based operation that is asking for the support of the greater surfing community to help it send two more youth participants this year. Please visit them at www.boardinghousementors.org or you can mail a check to: 2633 Lincoln Blvd., #400, Santa Monica, CA 90405.
What’s your surf spot worth? Help us find out. Researchers at UCLA are conducting a survey of surfers who surf at California surf spots to evaluate their worth. You can help by visiting this link and filling out the survey: http://www.beachology.com/surf. Your participation can help us better protect and manage California surf spots in the future.
A new SurfMoms site geared towards moms who surf recently popped up on the web. The basic idea is to swap surfing time for beach babysitting time. All the info can be found on our site at: http://surfmamas.ning.com
