Frontside: where to surf today

Frontside is a surf forecast that ranks every break in an area against the others, so you know which one is worth the drive. This connector brings that forecast into Claude.

Ask in plain words: "Where should I surf near Peniche today?", "Rank the breaks around Canggu for tomorrow", or "What does Pipeline look like this week?". For each break Claude gets a rating in Frontside's words (Flat, Poor, Poor to Fair, Fair, Fair to Good, Good, Epic), the day's wave height in metres and feet, the swell period, what the wind is doing to the surface, the best hours, and a link to the break's page on frontside.live.

The rating is the best hour still ahead in daylight, the same rule the Frontside app uses, so a break reads the same word in Claude and in the app.

Three read-only tools:

• find_surf_spots: look up a surf area or break by name
• get_surf_ranking: rank an area's breaks for today, tomorrow or a date within about a week (up to 15 breaks)
• get_spot_forecast: one break's forecast for the days ahead

Coverage includes surf areas in Portugal (Peniche, Ericeira, the Lisbon coast, Nazare, the Algarve), Bali (Canggu, Kuta and Seminyak, the Bukit) and Oahu (North Shore, South Shore). Ask for a place and it says what it has.

No account and no sign-in. Frontside keeps nothing about the person asking; it counts only which tool was used and for which region.

A forecast, not a safety call: it does not know currents, rocks, crowds or your ability.
