Planning a surf trip around a vague "waves are good on Wednesday" forecast is how sessions get wasted. Experienced surfers know that wave height alone tells you little — period, direction, and wind create the actual experience, and those details are usually buried in hard-to-read buoy data or locked behind subscription surf apps.

The wave_forecast skill returns multi-day forecasts for any coastal location: significant wave height, swell period, swell direction, and wind speed. This is enough to distinguish a clean 3-foot swell from a choppy mess of the same height, or identify which day this week will produce the most rideable conditions at your local break.

Surfers planning travel or scoring local breaks, kitesurfers picking launch windows, and kayak instructors scheduling sessions all use this to make decisions that result in better time on the water and fewer wasted journeys.
