Ventura, California. WetSand started first FREE email surf report service in 1998. When it comes to surf forecasting, surf reports are not Core; knowing how to forecast is Core. Cams are not Core; knowing how to read buoy data is Core. We are also committed to those Core Surf Values that we believe ground the sport; our environment, our history and culture, product design and development, and surf exploration. They all define a set of Core Surf Values that should guide us all.
