Surf

Know when to paddle out

Snow

Read the mountain before you go

Fresh snowfall, base depth, wind on the peaks and which lifts are turning. Your resort, waiting for you every morning.

Kite

Wind you can trust

Gust, lull and direction hour by hour, blended from high resolution models, so you know whether it is on before you load the car.

Windsurf

Know before you rig

Gust, lull and direction hour by hour, blended from high resolution models, so you know which sail to rig before you load the van.

One frame, every session

Sailing, windsurfing, scuba and boating too. Switch the sport from the portal and the frame follows you.

Step 01Stop guessing
  • The morning ritual of opening three apps and still not being sure is over.
  • Swellframe reads the conditions at your spots and tells you plainly whether it is worth going.
Step 02Less phone, more outside
  • Every forecast check used to end in a feed. This one ends with you closing the door behind you.
  • No app to open, no notifications, nothing waiting to pull you somewhere else.
Step 03Stop missing the good days
  • The best windows stop sliding past while you are busy. You see them coming days ahead.
  • The sessions you would have talked yourself out of become the ones you talk about.

Wake up knowing when to go.

Swellframe keeps the forecast for the places you care about visible all day, updating automatically over Wi-Fi. See the next 48 hours in detail, scan the week ahead, and spot the best windows before you ever reach for your phone.

The right model for the right sport.

Different sports depend on different conditions. Swellframe combines global models for the big picture, high-resolution regional models for local timing, and live observations where available. Surf focuses on swell, period, wind and tide. Kite and windsurf focus on wind speed, gusts and direction. Snow focuses on snowfall, depth, mountain wind and lift status. All of that data becomes one clear forecast you can act on.

FAQs

How does the battery last 6+ months?

The e-ink display uses the same technology as a Kindle and only draws power when the image actually changes. A single USB-C charge lasts 6+ months of normal use.

Is the screen readable in sunlight?

Yes. E-ink reflects light like paper, so it gets easier to read in bright sun rather than harder. No glare, no backlight, and sharp from across the room.

What does always-on mean?

Unlike a phone or tablet that goes dark, the e-ink screen holds its image 24/7 with no power draw. No wake button, no timeout, no loading spinner. Just your latest surf forecast on the wall, ready the moment you glance at it.

How does Swellframe forecast the surf?

We pull live ocean and global weather model data, then apply a per-spot model that accounts for the continental shelf, swell period, break type, and local calibration. Every session is scored for size, wind, and tide so you get a read on the day rather than raw numbers. Forecasts refresh every few hours.

What does it show?

You can mix and match slide formats. 2-day Focus gives an hourly breakdown of waves, wind, tide, and session ratings. 7-day Overview shows the full week at a glance with the best sessions ranked. Local Insights is a plain language read on the day's conditions and the best times to paddle out. Add, remove, and reorder slides from the portal, and each one can show a different spot.

No. Every Swellframe comes with the forecast you need, and that is yours forever with nothing to pay.
