Project
Most surf apps don't reflect the micro conditions that decide whether the North Sea is actually surfable. After growing up surfing in Bali and later moving to Northern Europe, I felt the difference immediately. I approached North Forecasting as a learning project and a real product at the same time, collaborating with the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences to translate professional forecasting data into something practical and approachable. The app is live. Hundreds of surfers now use it every day to check conditions along the North Sea coast.
Vision
Create the tool I wished existed for the community of North Sea surfers, and put it in their hands. A mobile app that turns complex data into clear surf conditions, helping people make better decisions about when to paddle out. The focus is on simplicity: show what matters, remove noise, and respect local context.
