In the summer of '89, I took my first surf trip. My best friend and I packed our surfboards into my mom's Volvo Station Wagon; along with a copy of Bank Wright's classic "Surfing California". We drove the coast from Santa Cruz to Imperial Beach, stopping at what felt like every single surf spot; though we were nowhere close. We mind-surfed perfect six-inch peelers at Campus Point, were sandblasted by wind torn Silver Strand, ate the famous burgers at Jalama Beach, and then finally scored south swell peaks near the pier in Huntington Beach.
That was the first of countless coastal California road trips. Guide books gave way to hunches and hearsay, which led to diaries, databases, charts, then algorithms. Childhood in Santa Cruz, college in Santa Barbara, a career in San Francisco, and in-laws in San Clemente have meant countless opportunties to explore this coast. Spitcast is the culmination of all that. Lots of research guiding key heuristics, plus a little machine learning (I guess it's AI now). My predictions score me great waves all the time. I hope it blesses you with a similar bounty.
Spitcast provides accurate surf forecasts throughout California. Give it a look. Go for a surf. You'll see what I mean.
