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.

Then there’s the stuff some folks don’t want you to see the first time, like the environmental mess Ike made, including a half-million gallons of spilled oil. And that’s just a drop compared to what will happen if we line our shores with rigs and refineries, giving nearly every named and unnamed storm a chance to pollute.With Congress lifting the ban on offshore drilling , now’s the time to contact your Senators and State Reps and tell them it’s time to explore for fresh energy solutions – not petroleum.
Okay, back to the fun stuff. After three months, the hottest video clips of the summer season have been narrowed down to the finalists in Billabong’s Freewave Challenge where$40,000 is up for grabs.
