Boardcall: Surf Report & Tides

Every surf app shows you twelve numbers and leaves the decision to you. Boardcall gives you one answer.

Each morning, Boardcall reads the swell, wind, and tide at your break and tells you what it's actually doing out there — in the way a friend who already checked would tell you. Waist high and clean. Blown out by ten. Worth the drive.

Then it looks at the boards you actually own — your quiver, by real dimensions and volume — and tells you which single one to grab today, and why.

WHAT YOU GET

• A plain-English surf report every morning — no jargon, nothing to decode
• A board recommendation from your own quiver, with the reason why
• A straight verdict: fire, fun, marginal, or skip
• Seven-day forecast with the right board for each day
• Tap any reading for its 24-hour chart: size, wind, swell energy, UV, and tide
• Measured offshore buoy readings beside the forecast at most US breaks
• Wetsuit call based on real water temperature
• Feet or metres, °F or °C — set each one the way you read the surf
• A daily reminder at whatever time you actually wake up
• A Home Screen and Lock Screen widget with the day's call

BUILT AROUND YOUR BOARDS

Add your quiver once — length, width, thickness, type. Boardcall works out the volume, weighs it against your size and skill, and matches it to the day. Short-period wind swell and a 5'10" shortboard don't mix; Boardcall knows that and says so.

HONEST BY DEFAULT

If it's bad, Boardcall says it's bad. No hype, no notifications engineered to get you to open the app. The whole point is to save you the drive on the days that aren't worth it.

NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED

No signup, no email, no password. Your quiver, your spots and your profile live on your iPhone rather than in an account, and Boardcall never uses your location — you pick breaks from a built-in list.

Writing the briefing does send something, so here it is plainly: that day's conditions, your skill level and weight, the boards it's choosing between, and your phone's language and unit settings go to our server and on to the AI that writes the prose. That request isn't logged or stored. Along with it goes a random, anonymous ID — the one thing we do keep — used only to stop abuse of the briefing feature. It isn't tied to you, and there are no analytics, ad trackers, or crash reporting anywhere in the app.
