Swell Catcher

The strength of the swell expressed in kilowatt lets you know if the session is going to be pretty cool or intense. As the perception of strength is specific to each surfer and his level, evaluate the strength of each of your sessions to know in which strength range you are most comfortable. The strength varies from 0 to more than 150 kW.

This innovative parameter makes it possible to predict the swell quality when it reaches the surf spots. An algorithm calculates a score of 0 to 20 depending on the direction and strength of the winds encountered offshore by the swell during 800 km. The higher the score, the cleaner the swell.
