The wind swings east. Your phone buzzes.
A weather station 100 m from Playa Guiones reads the wind all day. When it turns offshore and the lines clean up, strike.surf sends a push with the direction, the speed and a note on how it looks. You can stop checking the cam every twenty minutes.

Every so often the wind drops or swings back east in the middle of the day and Guiones goes glassy with nobody out. Members get pinged for those from 10 am to 6 pm, plus every morning alert. Capped at 25 members so the lineup stays small. Billed monthly, cancel anytime.
