Why Subscribe? Users can dial-in surf data from around the globe, subscribers can control the buoy data at their local break.

Old Man subscribers can manually adjust Secret Spots to more accurately calibrate their actual size swells breaking at their local breaks. These users become their own Beach Masters.

Lets adjust your Secret Spots to match “Your Real Surf Conditions” From the main screen, Tap on the 3 vertical dots on the top left Tap on your secret spots (if you don’t have one, tap on add) After you make one, Tap on the “Adjust Secret Spot” You will see 9 sliders starting from the top “Optimal Wind” to Low Tide Factor” The top slider, “Optimal Wind” also works with “Optimal Wind Factor slider, more on that later Next slider down is “Optimal Swell” move the slider right and left, look at the big circle and watch the Orange, Red and Blue swell buoy triangles . Notice a white center vertical marker move. This is the center of your best swell window The next sliders will adjust the “Secret Spot’s swell by rising or lowering the swell’s buoy data mixed with our algorithm will go up or down 10% for every 0.1 increment All starting points for Factor sliders is at 1.0 - you can use this as a starting point for rising or lowering your Secret Spots swells The next slider is “Base Factor,” move the slider right and left and watch the Orange, Red and Blue buoy triangles swell size rise and fall The next slider is “Optimal Wave Factor,” move the slider right and left and watch the Red triangle (your local break) rise and fall The next slider is “Optimal Swell Factor,” move the slider right and left and watch the Orange triangle, the Primary Swell rise and fall The next slider down is “Optimal Wind Factor,” which works with the first slider “Optimal Wind” (which moves the blue circle wind direction off or on shore in degrees) You can move both sliders to work with our algorithm to match the conditions at your beach. The swell size will rise and fall by first adjusting the “Wind Factor” then adjusting the “Optimal Wind” in degrees till you see the rise and fall. Some breaks work best at High, Mid or Low tides. The following factors will allow you to adjust your Secret Breaks with tide controls The next slider is “High Tide Factor,” use this when there is a high tide at your break, move the slider right and left and watch the Orange, Red and Blue swell buoy triangles rise or fall The next slider is “Mid Tide Factor,” use this when there is a Mid tide at your break, move the slider right and left and watch the Orange, Red and Blue swell buoy triangles rise or fall Finally, The last slider is “Low Tide Factor,” use this when there is a Low tide at your break, move the slider right and left and watch the Orange, Red and Blue swell buoy triangles rise or fall

Our Story

We are new, a small swell forecasting company competing against large, well-established swell forecasting businesses.

One big difference, we do it better! Why? We provide forecasting at the actual surf break level - No one else does this! And we have TWIGGE, our algorithm which forecasts this at any surf break around the world.

Just like wetsuit pioneer Jack O’Neill, Old Man’s app founders Dr. William P. Messier & Boris Gundelach wanted to create something that would allow people to do their water sports more wisely so we focused on technology for inspiration. We wanted to push the limits in forecasting marine sports resulting in users finding more days of quality surfing or other marine sports.

We know our user’s appreciate our forecasting app whether you Surf, SUP, Wave-ski or Foil, your ultimate love is our ultimate love!
