One forecast. Different calls.

The same wind and swell can help one activity and ruin another. These scores use the same live conditions at the selected spot.

Surfing

-- NO DATA

Scored for wave quality, wind, swell, tide and safety.

Kitesurfing

-- NO DATA

Scored for usable wind, gusts, direction, water state and safety.

The coast changes the forecast.

Offshore swell is not the same as what reaches the beach. Fathom accounts for island shelter, spot direction and local wave behaviour before it scores the session.

In Perth, a local wave model estimates how Rottnest and the seabed alter incoming swell. If that model cannot answer, Fathom uses a simpler geometry estimate rather than claiming false precision.

Built in WA. Honest about the water.

Fathom is built by a local ocean user who got tired of combining raw charts and generic surf forecasts.

Scores are not inflated to make a day look better. Safety can override an otherwise good forecast. Missing data stays missing.

Your Perth forecast, in context.

Compare wind, swell and tides at Cottesloe, Trigg, Leighton and Port Beach. Change the activity to see how the same conditions produce a different score.
