Built for surfers who actually surf.
Not another app with a paywall in front of the data you need.
Real data, not forecasts.
Live NOAA buoy readings updated 3x daily — swell height, period, direction, water temp, wind, rip risk, and USLA safety flags. Every beach scored and ranked so you know what you're walking into.

Coaching feedback
Stance: Back foot too far forward — move it over the tail pad for more control on turns.
What's working: Good wave selection, catching them early. Bottom turn has power.
Key fix: Bend the knees more through the bottom turn. You're standing too tall.
Learns from surfers
After each session we ask how conditions actually were. Your feedback calibrates the scoring model.
USLA safety data
Beach flag colors, rip current risk, and hazard alerts built on the same standards lifeguards use.
5-day forecast
Regional forecasts scored through the conditions engine so you can plan the week, not just today.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about The Morning Set.
We pull live readings directly from NOAA’s buoy network 3 times daily — 7am, 11am, and 3pm EST. These are actual measured ocean conditions, not model forecasts. Our scoring engine applies verified local knowledge for each beach calibrated with feedback from real surfers after every session.
99+ beaches coast to coast — from Rockaway and Montauk to Huntington Beach, Trestles, and Mavericks. East Coast coverage from Maine to Miami, plus Southern California, Central California, NorCal, Oregon, and Washington.
No. The Morning Set runs entirely through Telegram, which you may already have. Search @TheMorningSetBot and hit Start. Works on any phone, any OS, no account creation required beyond Telegram.
Surfline specializes in camera feeds and long-range forecast models. The Morning Set is a conversational surf assistant — you ask questions in plain language and get direct answers backed by live buoy data. We also use USLA-standard safety data and have an AI coaching layer Surfline doesn’t offer. And we’re a fraction of the price.
A dawn patrol alert sends you a Telegram DM when your saved beach hits your chosen threshold (FAIR, GOOD, or EPIC) before your cutoff time. Set it with /setdawn manasquan GOOD 7 and you’ll get a message only when it’s worth getting out of bed. Free for all users.
