How is the rating calculated?
Each hour gets a 0–5 rating from the swell that actually reaches the spot (its height, period and direction against the beach's orientation), the wind relative to the coast (offshore, cross or onshore), the tide that suits the spot and your level. Pro users can also tell Wavespot how each session went and the rating adjusts to them.
Where does the data come from?
Waves from Copernicus Marine, ECMWF and NOAA; wind from Météo-France AROME, DWD ICON-EU and ECMWF; tides from the EOT20 model; spots from OpenStreetMap, the European Environment Agency, Wikidata and our own curation. Data is updated twice a day; buoys every hour.

Forecasts are estimates. Always check the sea on site, follow lifeguards' flags and local warnings, and never go out beyond your level.
