Know the tide, and the beach changes.
The same beach can be great at high tide and risky at low. wave-log pairs your activity — surfing, snorkeling, swimming, or beach rest — with the tide stage to tell you, in time rather than stars, whether a beach works right now or at a moment you choose.
Three regions in one app: Korea, Okinawa (Japan), and Bali (Indonesia). From surf in Busan and Yangyang to a trip in Okinawa or Bali, cross-border and continuous.
Main features
- Activity × tide suitability: pick surfing, snorkeling, swimming, or beach rest, and the map keeps only the beaches that suit it right now.
- Tide clock: see the time to the next high or low at a glance, with the ebb/flow and spring/neap stage.
- Three-second live wave logs: no photo uploads — just a three-second clip shot on site. The tide at posting time is stamped in, and the video can't be edited, so it's exactly what you saw.
- Wave ratings and beach masters: recent conditions from people who were there become your call for today. Log enough at one beach to appear as its master on the map.
- Four-axis search: find beaches by name, region, address, or tag — even qualities like "quiet beach." Save the ones you like to My Beaches.
What's inside now
- 306 curated beaches, 3,672 activity × tide suitability data points, real cover photos.
Browse without an account; check-ins, saves, and logs are available after sign-up. Tide data is powered by WorldTides. Some features — like wave height and picking a future time to preview on a timeline — are coming in a later version.
Inappropriate content can be reported and users blocked; an operator reviews reports.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Wave logs can now be filtered by the tide at your visit time. Pick the date and time you're going, and see only the videos captured at a similar tide. You can jump straight in from the time preview on the Info tab, too.
The check-in notice shown when you're far from a beach has been refined.
