About Swellnet Surf Forecasts, Cams
Swellnet has been Australia's home-grown source for surf reports, forecasts and live surfcams for twenty five years - built by surfers, for surfers. Now available worldwide with an expanding network of global surfcams, and a team of surf forecasters who know the coastlines better than anyone. Whether you're chasing the dawn patrol at your local, planning a road trip up the coast or travelling overseas, Swellnet gives you everything you need to pick the right spot, at the right time, with the right board.
Live Surfcams
* Watch the waves live across Swellnet's high-vantage surfcam network, positioned to show the whole bank - not just one peak.
* Pinch-to-zoom and pan for a closer look at conditions before you paddle out.
* Missed the morning session? Scrub back through Surfcam Replays with fast-forward and adjustable playback speed to see exactly how the swell built (or dropped off) through the day.
Surf Reports and Forecaster Notes
* Get daily Surf Reports from Swellnet's national team of surf forecasters, updated multiple times a day so you're never working off stale info.
Accurate Local Surf Forecasts
* Plan up to 16 days ahead with forecasts built specifically for surf, not general weather.
* Read comprehensive Forecaster Notes from Swellnet's qualified forecast team, explaining the swell, wind and tide picture in plain English - not just a chart.
* Detailed wind and tide data, and swell train visualisation for every forecast, so you can pick the right tide and time of day for your spot.
The Best Wind & Swell Charts
* Wind, swell, period, LWT, switch between multiple weather models.
* Slick user interface with new features being added regularly.
Built Around Your Spots
* Save your favourite forecast locations and surfcam and add them to your home screen for instant access and viewing.
* Fast, accurate location search with surfcams prioritised so you can jump straight to a live view.
* Choose your preferred units - tide in feet or metres, region-based defaults - so the numbers make sense to you.
Swellnet Pro
Upgrade to Swellnet Pro for the full 16-day surf forecast, an ad-free surfcam experience, and full access to the Forecaster Notes. Swellnet Pro is available as a subscription or short-access pass, so you can grab it just for a swell event or keep it running year-round.
Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
