About Us
Wavemaps is an Ocean Intelligence Company
We create ultra-detailed digital twins of the coastal ocean. By combining GPU-accelerated simulation, custom modeling frameworks, AI-powered analytics, and deep expertise in ocean physics, we transform raw ocean data into intuitive, high-resolution insights for agencies, explorers, athletes, and coastal communities.
Flagship Product
Wavemaps HD: Nearshore Intelligence, Now in Your Pocket
Wavemaps HD uses hydrodynamic digital twin technology to recreate the world's most important surf and extreme ocean sports zones. Each digital twin is carefully curated and calibrated by our technical team to include the best available bathymetry, topography, and wave and wind data streams. Our proprietary code leverages state-of-the-art wave models and uses supercomputers, GPUs, and parallel computing and image processing techniques.
