Common Questions

How accurate is MysticSwell?

We use NOAA's GFS wave model updated every 6 hours, combined with Admiralty tidal data and NOAA satellite sea surface temperatures. Our scoring evaluates wave height, swell period and direction, wind relative to the beach, and tide state — giving you a realistic picture of actual surfing conditions, not just weather.

How often are forecasts updated?

Forecast data refreshes every 6 hours from the latest GFS model run, providing 7-day forecasts with 3-hourly resolution. Tidal data comes from the Admiralty UK Tidal API. AI spot overviews regenerate daily.

Which spots do you cover?

32 surf spots across Cornwall, Devon, Wales, and Scotland — from Fistral and Croyde to Llangennith and Thurso East. Each has tailored forecasts, spot guides, tide data, and community content.

What do the quality ratings mean?

Each time slot gets a star rating from Poor to Epic. The score factors in wind direction (offshore is best), wave height versus the spot's sweet range, swell period, and swell direction alignment. "Good" means a solid session. "Epic" means everything has lined up — rare but worth the drive.

Do I need an account?
