In short
Swellbell is a forecast app for surfers, kitesurfers, windsurfers and foilers. It gives each saved spot a verdict for every sport, scored by spot orientation, plus hourly wind, surf, and tide data and a seven day outlook. A standout feature is the "ring the bell" option, which alerts your crew when conditions are on.
Summary by Debuts, based on the App Store listing.About
Swellbell is the forecast app for surfers, kitesurfers, windsurfers and foilers who just want to know: is it on?
ONE CALL PER SPOT Every spot gets a verdict for each sport you ride: Firing, Good, Worth a look, Kinda or Nope. It's scored using the spot's orientation, so an offshore wind is a no for kites. You also get the best window to be on the water.
RING THE BELL FOR YOUR CREW Out at the spot and it's on? Ring the bell. Your crew gets a ding with the conditions, and you hear when they're stoked. Or ring it for everyone who saved the spot. Ring the most and claim the crown on Biggest Bell.
A DING THE NIGHT BEFORE Pick your spots and your bar. The evening before it lines up, Swellbell pushes you (or emails you) the call. Early enough to move a meeting, wax the board and set an alarm.
THE NUMBERS YOU RIDE BY Hour by hour wind and gusts, surf height and period, tide highs and lows, and a seven day outlook. One tap for directions to the beach.
WIDGETS Your home screen cycles through the good sessions at your spots, with the sport, the time it's on, wind, waves and period.
