Inspiration

Since the theme of this hackathon was based on surfing, we created a web app that makes the surfers aware of the weather conditions before going for a surf.

What it does

Makes the surfers aware of the weather conditions before going for a surf at the nearest beach and indicates if it is safe.

How we built it

Built it using Django, fetching weather updates from openweather API and global co-ordinates using Google Cloud's Map JavaScript API.

Challenges we ran into

Finding the accurate conditions that make surfing harder in the sea. Fetching the weather details based on location and transforming the weather data into JSON format.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Helping the surfing community to have a safe surf

What we learned

We learned how to work with APIs and extract data from the response.

What's next for SafeSurfer!

We are thinking to deploy it.
