Field notes
Spot setup accepts map-selected or manually entered coordinates, plus an ocean-facing direction used to interpret wind and swell exposure. Users can tune thresholds for Good and Epic ratings; the page specifies that offshore wind falls within 45 degrees of the land-facing direction. The session journal invites users to log future or previous sessions, while the site cautions that beta ratings are not yet validated.
