How to Plan Surf Sessions with Claude
Get wave forecasts for surf planning with Claude and ToolRouter. Swell, period, and wind data for water sports.
Tool
Claude reads wave forecast data the way an experienced surfer would — interpreting period and direction together to assess whether conditions at a specific break will be clean or messy, recommending the best day of the week for your skill level, and explaining what each variable means for the actual surfing experience rather than just the numbers.

Tips
- Ask Claude to factor in tide times alongside the wave forecast for a complete session plan
- Specify your skill level — beginner, intermediate, or advanced — for tailored recommendations
- Ask about the swell window: when does the good swell arrive and when does it drop off?
