You're in!

We'll be in touch when it's firing. Go wax up.

How it works
When it's firing, you'll know.

Real-time ocean sensors, scored against each spot's own thresholds around the clock. We only text when it's good enough to paddle out.

Buoys

Wave height, period and direction from live ocean buoys, not a forecast model.

Wind

Clean enough to surf. Wrong wind, no alert.

Tide

In your spot's best tide window right now.

When every condition meets our threshold,you get a text.
Founder pricing

Surfers don't need more information. They need to know when it's time.

No push notifications to miss. Just an old school text.

"A frothing friend used to text me exactly this: 'Dude, it's firing!' I built this so you can have that frothing friend too."Michael, founder
Founder pricing is live. Lock in this rate for life.Price increases when we hit capacity. Early subscribers keep this rate forever.
Why it's different
No forecasts. Just alerts.

We are always watching, and know exactly when you should get wet.

Direction mattersEvery spot needs a specific swell angle. Wrong direction, no alert.
Still firing when you arriveWe text as soon as conditions line up, so you have time to get out there.
Surfline shows what might happen. We tell you it's happening.No app, no dashboard. Just a text.
Frequently asked questions
Why do you need my phone number?

To text you when your spot is firing. That's the only use. No ads on SMS, and we don't sell your number.

Will you spam me?

No. We only text when conditions are genuinely good.

Can I stop any time?

Yes. Reply STOP to any text. No login, gone in seconds.

What if it's flat for weeks?

Surf is seasonal, and we'd rather text late than cry wolf. When you do get a text, it's worth dropping everything for.

Is that really all it costs?

One payment a year, no hidden fees. About 6¢ per alert.
