NALU
Surf conditions, refined.
The Art
Nalu is an ambient data sculpture that displays real-time and predicted surf conditions.
Carved from a single block of sustainable hardwood and mounted on a laser-cut steel base, Nalu uses satellite topographic and bathymetric elevation data to accurately reproduce terrain above and below the ocean.
The Technology
Iconic surfing locations are depicted by fiberoptic elements embedded in the resin ocean floor and controlled by our proprietary hardware.
After defining their ideal surf conditions on our web portal, Nalu displays customers' personalized surf reports. Additionally, users can scroll between current and forecast data using a rear-mounted toggle switch.
The Surf
Nalu's high-resolution surf forecast data is updated every fifteen minutes and provided by Storm Glass. Using a proprietary algorithm, Storm Glass determines the most accurate weather source from the world's most trusted meteorological institutions, including NOAA, Meteo France, Deutscher Wetterdienst, and the UK MetOffice.
