Five ways to ride

One ocean, every board

Surfing

Drop in, carve and pull into the barrel on steep reef and beach-break sets.

Surf foiling

Pump between bumps and link waves on mellow peeling points with real foil physics.

Wing foiling

Harness the forecast wind and fly flat water or open ocean swell.

Windsurfing

Rig up and blast across strong side-shore wind in the lagoon.

Downwind

Chase wind-swell bumps on long coastal runs from one beach to the next.

Your gear

Choose boards, foils and wings, and tune everything in advanced settings.

Built on the real world

Conditions that match the ocean today

Before you paddle out, Open Waves loads the latest wind, swell and weather for the spot you picked. The sun sits where it really does. Shorelines and seabed depth come from open map and survey data, so the lineup looks the way it should.

  • Live wind, swell and weather forecasts
  • Photorealistic 3D coastlines and buildings
  • Mapped shorelines, piers and jetties
  • Generate a spot anywhere on the coast
