Surf Daddy – Your personalised surf forecast

Surf Daddy is a personalised surf forecast built around you — not generic charts, not pro-only conditions, and not endless data that’s hard to interpret.

Instead of telling you what the ocean is doing, Surf Daddy tells you where you should actually surf, based on your ability, preferences, and how far you’re willing to travel.

How Surf Daddy Works

Surf Daddy turns complex surf data into clear, usable recommendations.

You set:

- Your skill level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)

- Your preferred wave size and style

- Your home location

- Your maximum travel distance

Surf Daddy then analyses swell, wind, tide, and local conditions to recommend the best surf options for you, right now.

No guesswork. No overthinking. Just better calls.

Surf Reports Built for Your Skill Level

Not every “good” surf day is good for every surfer.

Surf Daddy filters conditions so you’re only shown spots that make sense for:

- Beginners seeking forgiving waves and safer conditions

- Intermediates chasing fun, workable peaks

- Advanced surfers looking for quality, power, and precision

You’ll know why a spot is recommended — and why others aren’t.

Surf Smarter, Not Further

Surf Daddy respects your time.

Rather than defaulting to the longest drive or most hyped location, it:

- Ranks spots by surf quality vs travel time

- Highlights local and lesser-known options

- Flags when it’s genuinely worth making the drive

More surfing. Less driving. Better sessions.

Designed for Australian Conditions

Built in Australia, Surf Daddy understands local coastlines.

From beach breaks and reefs to points and wind-affected stretches, Surf Daddy accounts for the nuances that generic surf reports often miss.

It’s designed for real conditions — and real surfers.

Why Surf Daddy Exists

Surf forecasting hasn’t evolved with surfers.

Most reports still assume:

- Everyone surfs the same waves

- Everyone understands charts

- Everyone wants the biggest swell

Surf Daddy exists to humanise surf forecasting — helping surfers make confident decisions, surf more often, and stay connected to their local coastline.

Built by Surfers

Surf Daddy is created by surfers who shape boards, chase conditions, and understand the difference between technically surfable and actually enjoyable.

It’s an extension of the Afterglow ethos — connection to place, thoughtful choices, and sharing the stoke.
