About this app

Forecast the Cut. Stop guessing. Know when the black sand is exposed. GoldSwell predicts when storms and swells strip the beach to reveal deep cuts, hard pack, black sand, and old gold that others walk right over. ACTIVE HUNT TRAIL TRACKING Record your route, distance covered, and find locations while you detect. With your permission, GoldSwell uses precise location during an active Hunt, including when the app is closed or not in use, so trail tracking can continue with the screen off. Tracking starts only when you start a Hunt and stops when you pause or end it. GoldSwell never uses location data for ads or sells it. GOLDILOX INDEX (GLX) See beach readiness at a glance. GLX combines the Sand Stripping Index (SSI), Substrate Exposure Index (SEI), and tidal access into one clear score so you can recognise the Goldilox Zone™. G-SPOTS™ — YOUR BEACH INTELLIGENCE NETWORK Save and monitor beaches worldwide. View forecast overlays, swell direction, tides, and condition ratings in one place. Your spots stay yours. SUBSTRATE EXPOSURE INDEX (SEI) Follow the cumulative sand-removal conditions that can expose hard pack, gravel patches, and older target layers. G-PROBE™ ANALYSIS Run a G-Probe™ analysis on a saved G-Spot™ for detailed environmental and geomorphological insight, including sand movement, erosion patterns, and likely exposure conditions. CONDITION ALERTS Receive notifications when forecast conditions align, helping you act during short post-storm and low-tide windows. PRIVATE HUNT JOURNAL Keep your Hunt history, trails, finds, detector setup, and field notes together. Your G-Spots™ and finds remain private and are never shared with other detectorists. The beach changes every tide. While others drive blind, you know where the cut may be opening. Find the gold others miss.

Baseline captured. Growth appears after the crawler observes a changed rating count.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
