About SwellSlots
SwellSlots is a surf forecast app built by surfers, for surfers. We take the guesswork out of checking conditions by showing you the best time slots to paddle out — combining real-time swell, wind, and tide data into a simple, colour-coded grid.
Our forecast engine pulls data from multiple weather and tidal prediction sources, then runs it through a rating algorithm that weighs swell height, period, wind direction, and tide state to give you a clear picture of when conditions will be firing.
Whether you're chasing dawn patrol barrels or an afternoon glass-off, SwellSlots helps you find the right window at the right break. Currently covering over 2,000 surf spots worldwide with a focus on South Africa's coastline.

SwellSlots was founded by Jacques du Rand — a surfer and software engineer who got tired of juggling multiple forecast apps and wanted one simple view that answers the question: when should I paddle out?
