Show HN: I started surfing and ended up building forecasts for 50k beaches

when i started surfing, i got a bit lost trying to figure out the forecast and whether it was actually worth going out. there’s a lot of information, the interfaces can get pretty cluttered, and as a beginner it wasn’t always obvious what i should actually be looking at

that’s what made me start building ariasurf. it now covers 50,000+ spots worldwide, with hourly forecasts, primary and secondary swell, wind, tides, weather, live cams where available, favorites, and the option to create custom spots from any coordinates

i’ve tried to keep the forecast quick to read while still showing the actual data underneath

still improving a lot of things, especially accuracy and how each spot behaves. would really appreciate any feedback
