For YouTubers

At Swell Diary we're curating the best YouTube surf videos from around the world and organising them in chronological order. We only curate daily surf videos, filmed on a particular day, at a single location. We're creating a historical video timeline of which breaks are being hit by the biggest swells and when.

If you have a YouTube channel that posts daily surf videos we want to feature your videos. We embed your videos directly in to our site from YouTube so any ad revenue goes directly back to you, the channel owner. Plus your channel will be displayed with links to your channel on YouTube.

How to get your videos listed on Swell Diary

We only have two requirements for your videos to be listed on Swell Diary:

• It must be filmed on a single day
• It must be filmed at a single break/location

You can submit your own videos or contact us with your Channel URL and we'll monitor any new videos and add them.

Tips to get featured

• Include the filming date in the title or description
• Include the break or location in the title or description
• Good wave quality - no 1 foot onshore mush
• Preferably videos from a significant swell
• Decent camera work and video quality
• Raw footage, with no music, titles or excessive editing is fine
• Good surfing standard, no beginners, home movies, etc...

Videos we can't add

• Any video here we can't work out the date it was filmed
• The description or title only has the month it was filmed
• The video says it was filmed a "few days ago", or "during the last swell"
• Any video where we can't work out the break, beach or location
• Low quality footage, i.e. webcams
• Home videos, surf schools or beginner sessions
• Full length surf films, shot over multiple days, locations and breaks
