How'd it feel out there?
Tap a vibe, then pick as many as fit.
Try it
Four vibes. One tap.
Every session starts with how it felt: high or low energy, feeling good or off. Pick the vibe that fits, get specific with a feeling or two, and name your own if none of them land.

Example from the demo journal
Built by a surfer
I'm a surfer. I always knew the swell, the tide and the wind, but not how a session actually made me feel. Over time I noticed that how I felt in the water changed how I surfed. So I built a journal to track the feeling, not just the forecast.

Questions from the lineup.
Is it free?
Your first 5 sessions are free. After that, Swell Feels Unlock is a one-time $14.99 purchase. There's no subscription.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. Swell Feels is iPhone only for now.
Where do the conditions come from?
Tides come from NOAA predictions, and swell, wind and water temperature come from Open-Meteo. They're for your records only, not for deciding whether it's safe to go out.
