Kookbook guide
Three minutes to understand how it works and how to get the most from it.
Drop a pin, rate the waves, pick your board. Thirty seconds.
We fetch the real swell, wind and tide for that hour. Nothing relies on memory.
Every rated session teaches Kookbook what a good day looks like for you. Each forecast hour gets a match score out of 100.
Colour is quality. Size is strength. Direction is where it is heading.
Each day is a strip of 24 hours. Brighter means a better match for you. The thin band beneath marks daylight, twilight and night.
Point where the swell is travelling. Bigger arrow, more power.
Same idea. A big arrow pointing at the beach means onshore.
Runs under the hours so you can line up the tide with the score.
Kookbook does not average your sessions into one profile. It looks for up to three distinct patterns and scores every forecast hour against each of them.
After about 25 rated sessions at a spot the model tightens and the scores sharpen.
Share logs with your crew. Kookbook pools them into one forecast for the break, built from everyone's good sessions.
Every log is a lesson for your forecast.
Each break gets its own model.
Know which board worked.
One forecast for the whole crew.
Make Kookbook speak your language.
Scores appear after a few rated sessions. Around 25 at one spot, the model sharpens noticeably.
No. But every rated session makes your forecast sharper, including the bad ones. Kookbook learns what to avoid too.
