daily spot-specific Strike Score
One sentence
Strike Mission is a surf trip planner that compares spot-specific forecast fit across 1,100+ breaks and helps surfers decide where conditions may be worth travelling for in the next 10 days.
Short description
Strike Mission turns swell direction, size, period, wind, forecast confidence, and stored break parameters into a 0–100 daily Strike Score. Surfers can compare 1,100+ breaks, monitor home spots, and receive alerts when a forecast crosses their threshold.
Founder: Joel Cacciotti. Barrel is the fictional brand mascot, not a founder or employee.
Exploratory analysis of 75,932 archived model-score rows across two partial historical windows. Includes matched 28-day comparisons, spot and country CSVs, daily coverage, checksums, and explicit historical-pipeline limitations.
Report and downloadsA manually reviewed index of 173 provider-hosted camera links for 134 breaks across 32 countries. Strike Mission links out; it does not copy, proxy, or restream footage.
