Onda App Launches on iOS and Android, Bringing AI-Powered Surf Forecasting and Community Connection
SANTA CRUZ, Calif., July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today marks the official launch of Onda, a groundbreaking new surf app that combines hyper-local forecasts, AI-powered surf recommendations, and real-time community updates—all in one sleek, intuitive experience. Now available in Northern California (with more regions coming soon) on iOS and Android, Onda is poised to become the go-to app for surfers of all levels looking to ride better waves and connect with their crews while staying plugged into the ocean lifestyle.
Onda brings AI surf intelligence to your phone—personalized forecasts and crew chat now on iOS & Android.
Born from decades of online surf checks, Onda was created by a team of lifelong surfers, product and AI experts, and designers who believe surf forecasting should be more accurate, more personal, and more fun. The app pulls live data from NOAA, CDIP, and other sources, then runs it through a proprietary AI model trained to match each user’s preferences with the best local conditions.
“We built Onda because we were tired of missing good sessions,” said Quincy Carroll, co-founder and CEO of Onda. “Most surf apps are just weather data in disguise. Onda makes it personal. It’s like having a surf guide who knows your break, your level, and your preferences.”
Key features of Onda include:
