How to Get Surf Forecasts with ChatGPT
Plan surf sessions with wave forecasts from ChatGPT and ToolRouter. Swell and wind data for water sports.
Tool
ChatGPT turns wave forecast data into clear session plans and readable condition summaries. It is particularly good at explaining forecast terminology for less experienced surfers, comparing multiple surf spots in a region, and producing shareable session plans for groups.

Get a 3-day wave forecast for Croyde Bay, Devon. Rate each day from 1-5 for surfing conditions, explain the rating, and recommend a go/no-go for an intermediate surfer.
Tips
- Ask for a plain-English day rating (pumping / solid / fun / weak / flat) for quick scanning
- Request a comparison of morning vs afternoon conditions if wind patterns shift through the day
- Ask ChatGPT to note the best tide state for your specific break
