WELCOME TO BALTIC BUMS

BALTIC BUMS IS A COMMUNITY FOR SURFERS IN THE BALTIC SEA AND BEYOND. WE BUILT THIS BECAUSE WE NEEDED IT — A TOOL MADE BY COLD WATER SURFERS, FOR COLD WATER SURFERS.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT EXPOSING SECRET SPOTS OR BROADCASTING LINEUPS. IT'S ABOUT GIVING YOU THE TOOLS TO READ THE OCEAN YOURSELF — WIND, SWELL, BUOYS, PRESSURE — AND MAKE YOUR OWN CALL.

THE FORECAST

WE HAVE BUILT A FULL BALTIC FORECAST MAP WITH REAL-TIME WIND DATA FROM SMHI, WAVE FORECASTS FROM FMI, SWELL DATA FROM OPEN-METEO AND DMI, AND BUOY OBSERVATIONS FROM ACROSS THE BALTIC. EVERYTHING IS LAYERED ON AN INTERACTIVE MAP SO YOU CAN SEE THE FULL PICTURE AT A GLANCE.

YOUR SPOTS, YOUR SESSIONS

SAVE YOUR SURF SPOTS ON THE MAP AND WE WILL TRACK CONDITIONS THERE EVERY HOUR. LOG YOUR SESSIONS WITH RATINGS AND NOTES, AND OVER TIME WE WILL LEARN WHAT CONDITIONS WORK BEST FOR EACH SPOT — PERSONALIZED TO YOUR EXPERIENCE.

WHAT IS COMING

WE ARE BUILDING AN AI SURFABILITY SCORE THAT LEARNS FROM YOUR SESSIONS. THE MORE YOU LOG, THE SMARTER IT GETS. EVENTUALLY, WE WANT TO TELL YOU EXACTLY WHEN YOUR SPOT IS ABOUT TO FIRE — BASED ON WHAT YOU HAVE TOLD US WORKS.

THE BOARD

THE BOARD IS OUR BULLETIN BOARD — SURF NEWS, EVENTS, COMPETITIONS, AND COMMUNITY UPDATES. IF SOMETHING IS HAPPENING IN BALTIC SURFING, YOU WILL FIND IT HERE.

FOR EVERYONE

WE STARTED IN SWEDEN BUT THIS IS FOR ALL OF THE BALTIC. FINLAND, ESTONIA, LATVIA, LITHUANIA, POLAND, GERMANY, DENMARK — IF YOU SURF COLD WATER, YOU ARE ONE OF US.

FOR THE PEOPLE. FOR THE SURF. FOR THE BALTIC.
