broou surf forecast & reports
One click and you access the surf forecast for the next 5 days and can check the surf reports feed of that surf spot with the informations shared by the surf community.
For the brazilian coast line broou offers an exclusive shallow water surf forecast system. We use NOAA’s WW3 (Wave Watch III
- National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) wave model as the main data resource. For all the international surf spots available on the app we use the NOAA information without any data interpretation.
broou is the first surf app that really talks to surfers: an exclusive curation of the best surf conditions for each surf spot enables an automated analysis that tells if the surf conditions are good or not for that spot on this specific time.
If the icon is BLUE, means that that condition is good for the spot. But if the surf conditions on your spot aren’t good, use the GPS to quick compare the conditions of nearby surf spots.
this version of broou surf forecast app features:
• NEW! SURF REPORTS from other surfers
• Wave size range
• Unlimited amount of favorite surf spots for you to quickly check the surf conditions right away
• 5 day surf forecast with the most important information detailed: – wave height with range – swell direction – peak wave period (seconds) – wind direction and speed – tode charts – weather, air and water temperature – sunrise and sunset times – moon phases
• GPS function to compare current conditions of all nearby beaches surf spots
• Personalise measure systems: meters or feets, miles or kilometers….
• Share the surf forecast with your friends by e-mail, whatsapp, facebook, twitter e others social networks
• Biggest and best surf spot list in Brazil: more than 700 surf spots registered. If your local spot is not covered, just let us know and we’ll add it for you.
• More than 500 surf spots registered all over the globe: Hawaii, Califórnia, Peru, América Central, Europa, Indonésia, Austrália, África, Ásia… all with surf data information directly from NOAA
• All the surf spots of the WSL world tour on the app
Prediction is not precision. Forecast how the ocean will be in a given time is a complex task and errors do happen. But our objective is to offer a consistent surf forecast for you, and we need everyone’s help to improve this free service. When the conditions don’t match we need to know where, when and what is the error to fix it. Send us a message using the report problem button located on the share options in the spot icon or drop us a line on the email bellow.

Promptly deleted from my phone Forever. I do not feel comfortable using an app calling me "Bro." I can only think of the term as misogynistic and reinforcing the app's inclusivity to men. It is moving the surf industry one step backwards to where it came from. Good going, Broou. Grow up and change your language. The year is 2020 and your terminology is outdated. Thanks.
Exactly what I was hoping to find. An app that gives you a quick summary report of your favorite surf spot with one click. No more 10 click navigating to look at the same simple report every day.... Bravo, bro!
A little more detail on the shape and size of the waves would be nice, even if coded words elaborating a little more than just epic, ok, no good. For example, small, mushy, hollow, fast, consistent 1.5 meters, barrels, good lefts or rights, playful bowl or shore break etc ?
great app but there needs to be some sort of legend or help menu to explain what all the different symbols and numbers stand for. If you dont know what the definitions are then look into a different app.
Nice app and layout is cool but for some reason it shows me the forecast for the previous day on the apps start screen. Is there any way of fixing this?
My favorite surf forecast app,is just too easy to use,great job 🤙
Guys, this app dontr allowed me to creat a account to log in and poat photos and report.. I already send an email and in w8ing for ur answer! Thanks
This is a very nice app. Shot Broou!
Another POS App that doesn't have my area!
I live in a central Florida surf mecca.... the freaking Geiselmanns live here. I've surfed the inlet with pros like Rob Machado, back in the day, to Kelly Slater just 2 years ago. Shea Lopez lives up the road in Daytona, but shapes out of Randy Richenburgs factory in Edgewater... I see him surfing the inlet often. The closest recognized break is 54 miles away in St Auggie??!!! Come on folks, New Smyrna Beach Florida should be listed
Please add 1 hourly wind gusts and rain mm
The best app that I've used until today.
Like the interface, very simple and I also enjoy the funny report. But it is not accurate. Can't trust any forecast. In my region, most of the times, what you get from this app is completely wrong.
Great job, quick response in adding a new place. Love the UX, awesome for new surfers. Thanks guys.
Instantaneous response when I asked for 3 new spots to be added. Thanks!
App stopped updating after a week of use and stuck in a week of Saturdays with bad surf.
Can't add a spot that's weak closest spot is 80 miles a ways COME ON
The "bro" terminology excludes females. Its 1979 all over again. So annoying. Too bad, has good functionality. EDITED TO ADD RESPONSE TO DEVELOPERS: Thank you for considering my perspective. I know it's meant in fun, but always subordinating my gender to the dominate one does get tiresome. See what other gals think. Have a good one!
Been pretty genius so far... Thank you, guys! Wish more people used it in Hawaii/Oahu, where we are.
Too bad it doesn't have any Canadian surf spots available. I unplugged it after that.
Please add moffats beach in QLD Australia and Anne st reef?
very good design. easy to use.if there is some notification on my android watch, it gonna be so so cool.
Looks great, but only 3spots in Bali... No worth it for me, but hope you update it soon and I will download it for sure!
Please add Palmar - Panama and isla grande - Panama. (Two oceans spots. all nearby spots usually have same conditons)
Overall it is very good, simple and easy to add spots to your favorite list. There is a simple description of the condition, but clicking on the spot you can have a 6 days forecast with wind, period, size, direction etc. Sometimes it crashes, but still worth it! Best I have tried.
