What FUNWAVES Is
FUNWAVES (ファンウェーブス) is a free Android app built for people who surf and want reliable, practical forecasts. Rather than only reporting wave height, the app delivers a comprehensive readout of surf conditions so users can pick the best spots and times to go out.
Measured Conditions and Local Detail
The app evaluates many elements that affect surf quality, including:
- Tide levels and their timing
- Wind strength and direction
- Wave period and swell angle
- Seafloor shape and coastal features
- Surface texture and ideal wave profile
These data are provided for both well-known breaks and smaller, local surf points across Japan so you get place-specific guidance.
Interface, Comparisons, and Alerts
FUNWAVES presents key metrics for each surf point in a clear layout that makes side-by-side comparisons simple. Features include:
- Custom notifications you can tailor to your preferred conditions
- A straightforward display of essentials for quick decision-making
- Tools that highlight which spots currently match your chosen thresholds
Set alerts for the exact mix of conditions you want so you’ll be notified when a session looks promising.
Session History and AI Assistance
The Surf Log lets you record past outings to analyze what worked and what didn’t, improving future choices. In addition, AI-powered suggestions help interpret the data and offer actionable recommendations, making planning easier for beginners and veterans alike.
