Surf Speak UK

Surf Speak UK is a surf and weather forecast app for the UK and Ireland, built to give surfers and beach-goers everything they need for a day — or week — at the coast. It was also designed, from day one, to be genuinely accessible for people with visual impairments, hearing impairments, and neurological conditions. Built for British beaches, tides and weather, it turns modelled sea and weather data into a clear coastal report. See Total Sea State, wind, tide context, water temperature, daylight and weather without having to decode several different services. Surfers also receive Estimated Rideable Face, period and direction. Surf Speak UK turns complex marine, weather and tide information into accessible, plain-English planning context for real coastal life. Surf planning sits at its core, but the product is designed for surfers, swimmers, paddlers, walkers, anglers, families and beach visitors. BUILT TO ADAPT Choose from spoken reports, daily calls, haptic feedback, colour-blind palettes, high contrast, larger text, dyslexia-friendly text, reduced motion, Calm Mode and other display options. Feature availability varies slightly between web and mobile. YOUR LINEUP Save up to three favourite beaches on the free plan and compare the latest modelled conditions at a glance. Premium supports an unlimited Lineup. SEVEN DAYS TO PLAN Review a seven-day outlook for modelled sea, wind, weather and tide context. When timing matters, Premium adds fuller 48-hour hourly detail. FORECASTS, CLEARLY LABELLED Estimated Rideable Face is a planning estimate derived from modelled sea state and period. It is not a beach observation. Surf Speak UK also keeps Total Sea State separate so the modelled wave-height figure is not confused with the breaking face you may ride. TIDE AND WEATHER CONTEXT See tide curves, high and low timing, wind, gusts, air and sea temperature, daylight and other useful beach-day information together. SUPPORTED WAVE CAMS At beaches with a supported Windy.com camera, open a visual check before you set off. Camera availability is controlled by the third-party provider. MORE THAN 130 CATALOGUED BEACHES Explore catalogued coastal beaches across England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, with local beach information and nearby places to investigate. PREMIUM Unlock fuller 48-hour hourly planning and an unlimited Lineup. Alert availability depends on region and configuration. See the current price in the App Store. For planning only—not safety advice. Forecasts are guidance, not observations. Always check the beach, official and local information, access, weather and your own ability before entering or approaching the water.
