Data sources & methodology
Tide inputs come from NOAA/NOS/CO-OPS; weather, wind, wave context and alerts come from the NOAA National Weather Service.
Surf Conditions Scores and planning windows are calculated by CoastalNow. They are not official NOAA/NWS products, safety determinations, or break-specific forecasts.
Full Data Sources & Methodology →Surf Conditions Scores are 0–100 composite planning scores, not measured environmental values. They are not a safety guarantee and are not break-specific forecasts. Official warnings, closures, signs and local guidance always take priority.
