Stop Chasing Forecasts. Let SurfSignal Tell You When It’s Time to Ride.
No more bouncing between weather apps or trying to become an amateur meteorologist. SurfSignal does the hard work, so you know exactly when your next session is on.
For kitesurfers, wingfoilers and surfers, finding the perfect session can feel like a part-time job. One minute you’re comparing weather models, the next you’re checking wind direction, swell, tides and gusts across three different spots. Then you do it all over again tomorrow.
The irony? Most riders are looking for the same conditions every time. And despite all that effort, it’s still easy to miss an epic session because you spotted it too late.
That’s where SurfSignal comes in.
Instead of analysing forecasts every day, you set your ideal conditions once. Add your favourite spots anywhere in the world, define what makes a great session for you, and SurfSignal keeps an eye on the forecasts for the next ten days. When the conditions line up, you’ll know exactly where and when to go.
Want to stay updated without endless notifications? SurfSignal can send a single daily update at a time that suits you. Then, as your session gets closer, live wind measurements and spot cams help you decide whether it’s time to load the car or wait a little longer.
Smart Forecasting Without the Complexity
While SurfSignal feels simple to use, there’s a lot happening behind the scenes.
The app automatically selects the most suitable weather models for each location, favouring the highest-resolution forecasts and the most frequently updated data available. That means you’re seeing the best forecast information for every spot, whether it’s your local beach or a destination halfway around the world.
A near-global network of live weather stations also lets you check real-time wind conditions before heading out.
Making Forecasts Less Intimidating
If you’re new to wind or wave sports, weather charts can look like another language.
SurfSignal makes things much easier.
Schools and instructors can share their preferred teaching spots along with the conditions they look for. Instead of trying to interpret complicated forecasts, students simply see when good lesson windows are coming up and can plan—or reschedule—their sessions with confidence.
It’s an easy way to turn years of local knowledge into something anyone can understand.
Built by Someone Who Was Tired of Checking Forecasts
SurfSignal wasn’t dreamed up in a boardroom. It was built from a frustration shared by countless riders.
Founder Sebastiaan Dalmeijer spent more than 11 years kitesurfing, kitefoiling, wingfoiling, surfing and stand-up paddleboarding. Before every session, he found himself repeating the same routine: opening multiple forecast apps, comparing conditions and looking for familiar patterns across different spots.
As he added more sports, more equipment and more locations, that routine only became more time-consuming. Even then, great sessions could still slip through the cracks.
So he built the tool he wished already existed.
The result is SurfSignal: one setup that replaces hours of repeated forecast checking and gives you enough notice to make the most of the next great session.
Less time analysing. Fewer missed sessions. More time on the water.
