How it works

Stop gambling on seasonal averages

Forecasts only firm up 5–10 days out. Strike Mission is built around that window.

The old way

Book 6 months ahead

Pick dates from season averages and hope the swell shows up.

Fly and pray

Land, check the forecast, watch it go flat for the week.

“Should’ve been here last week”

The most expensive sentence in surf travel.

Coin-flip odds
The Strike Mission way

Book the time off, not the flight

Hold a flexible window. The waves pick the dates.

Watch the scores

Every spot scored 0–100 across 10 days. Alerts fire at your threshold, so you don’t have to keep checking.

Strike

Book 5–7 days out on a confirmed forecast, and land on the right days.

The Strike Score

One honest number: 0–100

Whether it's worth surfing, and whether it's worth booking the trip. Four components, adjusted for real-world conditions, and happy to call a day poor instead of hyping every spot.

045658095

Epic means 95+. That narrow band is deliberate: most days aren't epic, and when you see one, go.

Poor
044

Save your energy for another day.

Fair
4564

Surfable but not special.

Good
6579

Solid surf. You’ll have fun.

Firing
8094

Excellent conditions. Worth the trip.

Epic
95100

Drop everything. This is what you came for.

Don't take our word for it: see this week's best waves, scored live

Four components. 25 points each.

25 pts

Swell Direction

Is the swell hitting the spot at the optimal angle?

25 pts

Swell Size

Is the wave height in the sweet spot for this break?

25 pts

Swell Period

Is there enough groundswell energy for quality waves?

25 pts

Wind Conditions

Is the wind offshore, glassy, or manageable?

Real-world adjustments

Groomed conditions bonus

Days of prior offshore wind create clean, groomed conditions. The score reflects this hidden quality factor.

Morning sickness penalty

Days of onshore wind leave residual chop even after it turns offshore. We account for the lag.

Strike Alerts · the early warning system

Stop checking.
Get told.

Set your bar and get an email the moment the 10-day forecast crosses it: a Strike Score, minimum swell, offshore wind, or a run of good days. Up to 9 days of warning, enough time to book the trip instead of hearing about it after.

From the founder

Built by a surfer who was sick of guessing

I've spent more time refreshing forecast tabs at 3am than I care to admit. Strike Mission exists so you don't have to.

It started as a spreadsheet for timing my own trips: one score per day instead of six tabs of swell charts. Every spot's swell and wind windows are checked against real sources, and the score is happy to call a day poor. If it says go, it means it. — Joel, founder
