Go Daisy scores stand-up paddleboarding from a coordinate, not from a list. Name anywhere on earth and it is scored for the next seven days from the same forecast sources — nothing to install, and no account.

Coastal spots are scored on swell, period, wind against the beach and sea temperature. Inland ones get soil moisture and freeze–thaw instead.

Questions people ask

How is the stand-up paddleboarding ranking worked out?

Every spot with a page is scored out of 100 for stand-up paddleboarding today, from the same live forecast the app uses, and sorted best first. The scoring reads the conditions that decide this activity in particular — not just whether it is raining. The order changes every hour.

Can you score somewhere that isn't listed?

Yes — anywhere, for any of the 118 activities Go Daisy scores, in any combination. The 34 pages here are the ones we keep and update for search; the scoring itself takes a coordinate, not a place from a list. Set up your own spot and it is scored the same way, for free and without an account.

How often does this change?

Every hour. The ranking on this page is today only; each spot page carries the week ahead, the reasoning behind the number, and the measurements it came from.

Is it free?

All of it, forever. No ads, no upsell, no data sold. Go Daisy is paid for by our specialist sister apps rather than by you.
