Surfability Score™ partner pilot
Orange County Surfability Score™ hub surf report and buoy data
This proof of concept connects seven Orange County breaks to the buoy pairs used by Killer Surf Links Surf Intelligence. Read the offshore signal, then jump to the corresponding Surfability Score™. Start with the nearest recent reference, then check wind, tide and official marine information for the specific beach.
How to read this coverage
This page brings together surf, swell and wave conditions for Orange County Surfability Score™ hub surf report and buoy data. SwellOracle separates real instrument observations from marine model points so you can understand what you are seeing before making a decision. Current coverage includes 8 recent observations and 0 model points; availability can vary by source and update time.
- Check the timestamp and source before comparing readings.
- Combine height, period and direction with your coastline orientation.
- Use models as context, not as an automatic substitute for a real buoy.

How the pilot works
Each break keeps a primary and secondary buoy visible so surfers can understand which offshore observations inform the score.
The KSL score link is intentionally presented as a partner handoff. The final deep link for each break can be connected when Killer Surf Links ↗ provides the destination URL or API contract.

History is enabled gradually when reusable, correctly identified observations are available. Models and references without a stored series keep their own page, but do not show historical charts.
Regional buoy and conditions table
Every reference in this pilot is a real NOAA/NDBC buoy. Compare readings by timestamp, height, period and direction.

Buoy and history FAQs
What buoy information is available for Orange County Surfability Score™ hub surf report and buoy data?
The published catalog includes 8 physical or reference stations and 0 model points for this region. Each source identifies its provider, location, data type and history status so observations are not mixed with estimates.
Why do some buoys have no historical charts?
Charts appear only when SwellOracle has a stored series of reusable, correctly identified observations. A station can keep its information page even when there is not yet a sufficient series for a chart.
What is the difference between a physical buoy and a marine model?
A physical buoy or station represents instrument measurements. A marine model estimates conditions at a grid point. Use observations as local confirmation and models as spatial context rather than treating them as equivalent sources.
How should swell height, period and direction be interpreted?
Read all three variables together: height describes the size of the signal, period helps explain its energy and direction shows where it comes from. Coastline shape, depth and local exposure can change what reaches the beach.
Keep tracking your buoys without missing a reading
Open the map, save your favorite buoys and get more context when you decide when to check conditions.
Practical takeaway
The hub separates offshore evidence from the partner score, making the relationship easy to review and refine together.
