Yo, ever think of waves as a natural sensor, like a live data stream that tells you when the tide’s sweet for a good ride? I’d love to see a wave log—what would that look like?
Sensor Sensor
Yeah, picture a wave log as a continuous sensor feed: timestamp, wave height, period, crest‑to‑trough duration, direction, maybe even surface temperature. I’d dump that into a CSV, feed it to a real‑time analytics engine, and let it flag the sweet spot when the amplitude peaks and the period matches your board’s optimal speed. It’s just data, nothing mystical.

Sounds sick—like having a personal sea oracle right on your phone. Just imagine catching a perfect wave every time the numbers line up. What’s the first place you’d test this out?
Sensor Sensor
I’d start at a spot that already streams data, like the NOAA buoys off San Diego or the tide gauges at Oahu’s Banzai Pipeline. You get a constant feed of height, period, direction—perfect for testing a wave‑prediction model right on your phone.

Nice, man. NOAA’s feeds are perfect for that—real-time, no fuss. Just hook the data to your app and you’ll be catching the sweet spot before most people even know it’s there. Let me know when you hit your first perfect wave!
