FAQ
Surfing Hubs vs Surfline and Windy
Yes. Spot info, surf forecasts, and conditions are free here, with no premium subscription.
No. The core forecast and conditions tools are free and need no paid plan.
Forecasts are built on free public ocean and weather data rather than a premium forecast license. The businesses listed here pay for their own pages, bookings and app, and that pays for the free tools.
