BeachFinder
Find beaches with the right conditions
About
BeachFinder lets you locate nearby beaches based on real‑time data such as sea temperature, wind speed, UV index, water quality, waves, currents, surf cues, and distance. The platform aggregates multiple data sources and presents them on an interactive map, allowing users to filter by the conditions that matter most for their trip.
The case
Who it is for
Beachgoers who want to plan a trip based on sea temperature, wind, UV index, water quality, waves, currents, surf cues, and distance.
What is broken today
Before BeachFinder, people had to search multiple websites or apps to gather data on sea temperature, wind speed, UV index, water quality, waves, currents, surf cues, and beach distance. This fragmented approach was time‑consuming and often led to incomplete or outdated information.
What it does about it
BeachFinder aggregates real‑time data from reliable marine and weather APIs, maps it onto a user‑friendly interface, and lets users filter beaches by the metrics that matter most. The service automatically updates the data so users always see current conditions.
Why not the obvious alternative
Unlike generic travel or weather sites, BeachFinder focuses exclusively on beach‑specific metrics and provides surf cues and current information in addition to basic weather. It also shows exact distances to each beach, enabling precise trip planning.
