Once upon a surf forecast—the ultimate surf bedtime story

Still confused by surf forecasts? You’re not alone—and you're not stupid. In this episode, we break down wave height, swell direction, and wind like we’re explaining it to a five-year-old. Literally. Inspired by a chat with Gavin from Go Surfing San Diego and the Sunday Stoke newsletter, we turn confusing Surfline charts into a surfy bedtime story—featuring splashy waves, sneaky swells, gentle winds, and surfer dudes with imaginary tape measures. You’ll learn what numbers to pay attention to, what they mean for your local break, and how not to freak out over "kilo-julies." By the end, you’ll feel like a tiny surf wizard—ready to read the ocean like a pro… or at least like a grown-up.
