Surfline: Wave & Surf Reports for Positive User Reviews
✓ YeahPrefer it too the old magic seaweed as much more comprehensive and the camera views are pretty cool.Version: 9.8.3
✓ Still The Best Surf App/WebsiteYes I agree that the ads are a bore (but there aren't any though if you're a Premium member), but it's a minor nuisance to bear for access to accurate reports and a beautiful interface with the most cams available. It occasionally has crashed on me too but rarely recently. For my 80 or so bucks per year Premium subscription for extended web forecasts, having this companion App is a dream and i actually use it more than the website everyday. Well worth the cash and minor nuisances - when the App is down due to location reception issues, going directly to Surfline Mobile on the internet usually will work unless one's cell signal is close to nonexistent. I agree that controllable cameras would be ideal but with their subscribership it would probably be impossible (can you imagine playing camera tug of war with 5000 Chads and Kimos at your favorite spot). Let's stop whining - you pay more and it isn't perfect but it's pretty darn good. Disclaimer - I'm not on their payroll)..Version: 5.4.5
✓ Forced to buy premium, but still has ad’s?No question Surfline is the best. They own magic seaweed, so they send false data on magic seaweed because they want Surfline to appear more accurate, which it is. Now that your forced basically to buy premium access, you still get ad’s on the app which is double dipping and beyond annoying. Would I suggest premium? Honestly I don’t really feel a benefit, it’s not like a whole new realm of insight opens up. Only reason I tired it was because of a student discount. I don’t really “feel” an extra benefit, more like it’s less irritating to use the app now. Suggestion: remove ads from premium users. Let’s hope they use their new found revenue from double dipping to increase the quality of the web cams. They are in need of a major upgrade at most breaks, if not all..Version: 8.3.1
✓ AwesomeEverything I need in one place for multi sport info.Version: 9.5.2
✓ Loving itI really like it.Version: 9.9.1
✓ Planning summer surf holidayPerfect app to help plan what board to take and spots to choose. We go to Biarritz from London every summer for family holiday and my daughter is progressing from beginner to intermediate. I use surfline to plan our morning and evening surf session so she gets the best conditions to improve! And when she has a morning or evening break I can dial up where I want to go - surfline the most accurate forecast I have found. Thanks team - another young female surfer improving with your help!!!.Version: 10.3.3
✓ Great app! Got everything you need to get waves plus moreFantastic app, highly entertaining and comprehensive.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Live Saver ! LiterallyGiven the criminal attitude of sewage discharge in Britain this superb app can literally save your life . We are open water swimmers , canoe and snorklers …. And have two dogs …. Visit the beaches in Scotland weekly and on holiday bum around in our Stealth Truck around Northumberland other surf bum and mush rider locations . We are self employed so getting ill from criminal sewage dumping not only leads to ill health but could loose us our business if we can’t get over it and don’t want to subject our dogs to others cretinous behaviour so they can profiteer … so please keep up the fantastic work and my MP for Berwick upon Tweed is next on my list for a chat about the unbelievable amounts of deliberate daily sewage discharges whilst the company pay dividends …..Version: 10.3.3
✓ Surfing for along time.I have been surfing for 35 years and it’s been such a blessing when Surfline came along. I used to just jump in my car early morning in order to catch waves that weren’t crowded. It was a crap shoot or hit or miss for wave size and weather. Tech now allows us to view the night before and determine whether the drive will give us waves or not. Trying to be responsible as far as wasting gas to get to the beach and being disappointed that it is totally flat is no longer an uncertainty. Read the information supplied by Surfline and make logical decisions as to where the swell is going to hit. Learn weather patterns and know the spots that benefit from a certain swell. If there are no waves choose to either stay home and do something that makes sense for you. I like Surfline because it help me make proper decisions. Thank you..Version: 10.5.2
✓ Great cameras!You can pick almost anywhere in the world and see what the surf is doing live and with an amazingly clear live streaming video. So happy this exists!.Version: 10.8.0
✓ My go-to!From forecasts to cams to surf tracking on my Apple Watch, this app crushes it. Plus you can combine it with the dawn patrol app on the watch too..Version: 7.5.5
✓ I love SurflineDownloaded it yesterday and haven’t stopped checking the conditions of my local beach. Love how user friendly it is and easy to use. 16 day forecast is great too because I can see what days are going to be good and what days are going to be bad. All in all if I had to change anything I wouldn’t..Version: 9.1.0
✓ Surf’s UpI live a couple of hours from the closest break to me and Surfline is an invaluable tool that help me maximize my time in the water. In the past I relied on averaging out the predictions from several apps, but always found Surfline forecasts to be the best. On top of the great forecasts (going out 16 days), the views from the surf cams give me perspective of each break that I can’t get anywhere else. Unfortunately, most of the time it just shows me what I’m missing out on, but on days that I can carve out time to surf, the cams only validate Surfline forecasts. All in all a great app and I’m also a premium member, which is well worth the money..Version: 10.1.1
✓ Excellent App- well BuiltI’ve had an iPhone since 2007 when they first came out. I even cracked the phone and loaded my own applications before applications were a thing. I probably have at least 100 apps on my phone. This app always seems to function properly, never has issues, and because the developers update it seldomly, it is very reliable. The latest version has taken me some time to get used to. As I was an early adopter to the original versions. However, this is probably my favorite and most used app. To all those involved in creating such a great experience, I say thank you. Keep up the good work..Version: 9.0.1
✓ Nailed it!I have been using Surfline for over a year now, and as a new surfer it has been not only a surf forecast but an education tool, it’s taught me how to read waves, view cams for best spots, and check sections to paddle out before the paddle out. Highly recommend for anyone one..Version: 9.0.1
✓ HorribleI am putting it as a 5 star because they will not show this other wise but I would actually rate this a 1 without paying u can check the surf 5 times a week so it will not let u check it after that and there are constant adds it is a horrible app that just wants your money.Version: 7.1.0
✓ Works wellNothing to say here other than this app works really well. Great to have live video, and the reports and forecasts are understandable and as accurate as you’d expect..Version: 10.8.0
✓ Greatful!I am truly greatful for one of if not thee best surf forecast worldwide your entire staff at Surfline provides. With all the technological resources that are available today, in my opinion, your team manages to provide the most accurate as well as thorough reports and the best coverage of beach cams on any given website all in one. When I am planning to take a trip to various surf destinations, the information and forecast that you guys provide is absolutely more than adequate. I really do appreciate all the hard work every single one of you do everyday so that the entire surf community can benefit. Keep up the awesome job! Mahalo!!!.Version: 8.0.4
✓ Surf lineTook some getting used to, seems to keep loosing my favourites. Got my head around it now though. I’m sure it’s just because its new and it will become easier. I’ll have to because it’s needed!.Version: 9.9.1
✓ NiceFor surfing, Surfline seems to be the best forecast app, it’s simplistic and has a useful user interface and the new travel section in the website is fantastic, the ratings are a great feature, however the actual forecast, wind, swell data is sometimes a little strange and hard to make sense of and inaccurate in some locations. Some more spots and cams would also be great..Version: 9.0.1
✓ Seeing is believingQuite simply, if you are wondering what the surf is doing, set up a number of preferences spread across your most likely places to surf or nearby .. click in and really see if you should venture into the water . If you know what works in what conditions, you’ll save time being able to hit the right break for that day or know to linger and go out a bit later. Technology used right. Thanks Surfline.!!.Version: 10.3.3
✓ Finger on the pulseSuch a great site to check out the conditions and forecast probably a bit technical with some of the data I don’t use..Version: 10.11.0
✓ Simply the best!5 stars.Version: 10.4.2
✓ I don’t surf 😱😂I use this sight of my open water swimming, providing me with all the information I need it’s fantastic. Only slight criticism is I can’t find any sewage information ( even you surfers must take a gulp every now and then 😊) would recommend to anyone 👍.Version: 9.8.3
✓ Great appEnjoying the new format.Version: 10.3.3
✓ Accurate & reliableWe find surfline invaluable when planning surfs, especially when we only get so many passes from the famdam to head out we need to have confidence that there’ll be waves as predicted and surfline always comes though. The detailed sweep info is a godsend also. Thanks team!.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Better Han coffeeWhen this service use to be free I was happy, but then the paid membership model put me off. The positive being is that I learned how to read the charts to predict swell and wave conditions. However when my wife wanted to get me a gift and I couldn’t think of anything, my son and I said get a membership….when you work it out, it cost less than takeaway coffees and keeps me off the coffee..Version: 10.3.3
✓ Swells upHaving a 100km drive to the beach, I find this an invaluable tool to plan those trips to make the most of my time and fun in the surf I know you have lots of cams but us surfers are a greedy bunch, can we have more? Keep up the good work.Version: 10.3.3
✓ Cams make all the differenceRecently joined Surfline after hearing MSW was to be decommissioned in may. The thing I loved about MSW was at a glance you could rule out the bad days from the good days in your favourites screen. Now I’m a member of Surfline and have been using it religiously for 2 weeks I think there’s more detail and once you know how to navigate the app it’s also more informative. Having use of the CAMS is a game changer!!! Should have coughed up the MSW annual fee years ago. Will still be sad to see MSW tho. Has done me proud for around the last 12 years. Love your work!!!! Thanks Andy Langman.Version: 9.6.0
✓ Surfline my go to surf reportWe have had a summer of surf so far and Surfline has been accurate and on the money. I like seeing the cams for my favourite breaks and then being able to get an idea of what’s coming pictorially with the infographics displaying wind waves tide period etc. can thoroughly recommend. Back in my grommet days we rang the surf report on an 0800 phone number! Things have come a long way since then 🌊.Version: 10.3.2
✓ Good combination of cams and tidal informationGreat for cams, sometimes the reports are a little off but for the most part a solid app and place for surf information..Version: 9.1.0
✓ How good! 🤙Find this app really helpful, great having a camera on the waves, great current descriptions and forecast..Version: 9.0.1
✓ Little itI have been using MSW for the last 20 years and now switch to Surfline which is great, the quality of videos is better, analysis and the app is very friendly. I’m happy with the change. Good job.Version: 9.5.2
✓ YessSo good!!.Version: 9.8.3
✓ Great AppUse this app for surfing abroad. Definitely a great resource and something to keep in your arsenal..Version: 10.8.1
✓ Great app!What an amazing app! As a young grom I used to check Surfline on the web all the time (back in the days of dialup and flip phones) and it never steered me wrong. now that I’m back in the water after nearly two decades as a landlubber, I can’t believe how much the quality and abundance of data, human analysis, spots represented, and the number and resolution of live cams has grown and improved. Sometimes a few of my favorite cams and ideal conditions for certain spots won’t load, but overall the app is addicting to check out even if I’m stuck at work, and the forecasts are super accurate for the days I’m not, over a week in advance. I can’t speak to the quality of the free version since I know and trust Surfline and went premium off the bat, but it seems beyond worth the annual fee considering how much effort and expense goes into compiling this data and implementing the tech to keep it available wherever my phone has service. I’d recommend reading up on the basics of forecasting from compiled buoy data to take full advantage of the wealth of information the app provides. Not every spot gets it’s own pro analysis from their staff, but chances are your favorite spot (or one nearby) is..Version: 6.8.7
✓ WallyGuys your forecasting is A1 … that analysis might be too much go some but for planners and frothers there’s no other such service … But beach cams need some work fellas in particular one that I need every day … that being peregian beach … those cameras are as good as looking through a coles shopping bag at the surf … seriously iether the enclosure lens is done or the camera itself … please get its owners to sort it out Thanks for a wonderful service otherwise !.Version: 9.7.1
✓ Great App 1 of our family’s most popularA great app cant complain about what it provides us almost everyday. A popular family app in our house. The live webcam are fantastic. Love the forecasts too. Thank you!!!.Version: 10.9.1
✓ Surfline review by Tracy HinesThe only real ideal way to know what the waves look like is to go down to the beach and look at them daily. I live 2 miles from the beach. However, what I like about Surfline is the longer term predictions that are good for planning trips elsewhere. Also, I like knowing exactly when predicted hi tide is. What the swell pattern is and what the wind direction and speed will be. There are several breaks near my house. They all have different exposures and when tides and winds are not right in one place then I can make the decision to go elsewhere without having to ride down to look. Surfline can save a person time. It’s a good service. Stay blessed all and keep on surfing!!.Version: 10.12.1
✓ SURFLINE FIX THIS BUGSo I love Surfline, the only reason I gave it three stars is due to a bug that I keep coming across, the application itself is amazing when it comes to depicting swell and weather, their team is great!. How ever when I try to access the explore page to see which spots are good around me, it will not show the spots or cams on the tab at the bottom for the page, it will only show the option “view regional forecast” which won’t even work either. I would have to restart surfline to get the explore page working accordingly. I have ignored this problem over the past couple months ultimately think it was going to get fixed soon but I’m still having trouble with it to this day so I made the effort to reach out and see if anyone else was having this same problem or it has been noticed by the community ! Please let me know if it’s just me !.Version: 6.9.0
✓ SurflineI have been constantly in the wrong spots when trying to surf but when I got Surfline I was able to go to the right surf spots at the right time..Version: 8.0.4
✓ Great trackingPremium is way better as it gives the ability to track multiple locations I can easily track ideal SUP areas and catch decent summer surf areas too ! Enhanced my knowledge of wave tracking vs listening to the radio early well presented this is a fantastic app.Version: 10.5.2
✓ Easy to use!Good app. Has breaks that others don’t..Version: 10.8.0
✓ Lift your Stoke.My Surfline subscription gives me constant access to the worlds best surf cam aggregation and quality daily surfing articles. It keeps my surf Stoke well charged, inspires me to go surfing and stay tubed! My only problem is having to continually sign in on my phone but not on the iPad..Version: 8.2.1
✓ Pretty GoodIt’s pretty good but the ratings off the waves are quite interesting. I was surfing a 3 foot break offshore and when I got home and checked surf line and it says 3-4 poor when it was perfect. Also you should be able to have more features without premium. Overall it’s pretty good though.Version: 10.1.3
✓ Great app with an awesome new lookLoved the old app and website and would always use it. Haven’t paid for premium but the camera function would be nice. The old name is what all my friends have called it and it will always be magic seaweed to me. They have great forecasts and are pretty spot on. So many beaches across Cornwall and Devon it will always point you in the right direction..Version: 10.1.4
✓ Making Life EasierGetting old presents it’s own set of complications. This application definitely makes the decision process easier and faster. Is it worth surfing River Jetties before work? Do I feel like dealing with the crowd at gravels after work? Is it a soft top, fam & friends Saturday at Doheny? For what it is, Surfline does a pretty solid job. Times change. Boards take forever and cost more than ever. Your favourite Local shapers become global phenomena. The sand just isn’t the same. “You should’ve seen it 15 years ago.” The cost of living never runs out of gas. Wetsuits take a little more effort to put on, and Oprah builds vacant, tax write off, vacation Estates atop the overgrown trailer park playground you loved, eroding away the sands and its refracting, summer wedges. So, I figured why not use every available vehicle towards my benefit? EVERYbody else is. The forecasts have been pretty good to me too. Hopefully, it continues... great job you guys.Version: 10.4.2
✓ Accurate up to date infoA great app that actually does what it says on the tin. Up to date info on surfing conditions all in one place, makes finding the best place to go quick and easy .. more time in the water. 🏄♂️.Version: 10.4.2
✓ I love it, but I miss the it wasI love this app, but I get frustrated when I can find things. It was perfect up until a few updates ago. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel to make things, fresh and new, and definitely don’t move things without explaining where you put them, I’m sure I’ll be able to find it later, but I can’t find water temps and other miscellaneous things. Everything used to be on the front page, now you have to jump through several hoops to view everything. I don’t like that, however, I do love this app, and I couldn’t do without it. If any creators are reading this, please consider streamlining all the important information right on the first page of the location you’re checking out.Version: 10.5.2
✓ Well organised dataEverything you need, organised well so easy to find what you want. Only suggestions photos- especially of places with no video and parking info would be helpful..Version: 9.8.3
✓ Great coverageHi, use your app pretty much every day to check my local break, even during work to see what conditions are like. Has be the greatest thing for people myself work to much but can occasionally sneak out for a wave. Awesome for checking other areas, especially when planning a trip or missions down the coast. Keep the hood work. 🤙🤙.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Great UX, forecasts a bit hit and missI’ve been using the app for half a year now. It’s nicely designed and easy to use. I love being able to save my favourite beaches. Only qualm I have with it is that the forecasts are a bit off sometimes. Had a couple of instances where a spot was said to be poor at the moment only to see fairly decent waves (but not having brought my kit)..Version: 10.1.4
✓ Keep it realFor the past month I have been testing 4 4 different surf reports to see which one is most accurate for my break and SURFLINE was the most accurate... The others were way off and I think only pump numbers to support the shop & retail trade ... They get so wrong .. Thanks Surfline for keeping it real 🤙🏻.Version: 5.4.7
✓ Brilliant but room for improvementThe app is brilliant and works well just one thing to improve would be to add widgets to Home/Lock Screen plus widgets on smart watch so that you could view the tides etc quicker.Version: 9.9.1
✓ Good for non-surfers too!I don’t surf but I’m fascinated by it (maybe someday!) and I like learning about the water and the wind and all the variables that make for good surfing. I also like to correlate that info by seeing the actual waves that are described by the data. However, 15 seconds of a picture telling me to upgrade to premium for 30 seconds of webcam viewing (where most of the webcams are already hosted by third parties and available for free elsewhere) seems excessive to me and does not exude that surfer friendly attitude one might expect. This could be a nice outreach vehicle for young and/or new surfers who want to get in the water a little more educated than they would be otherwise. The heavy handed push to premium is a drag though. Allowing uninterrupted web cam viewing (not even the HD - just regular cams) would encourage people to stay on the website longer, learn more and realize their need for premium. Just a thought - thanks!!.Version: 5.7.1
✓ Highly recommendLove the app simple to use and has everything you need to know..Version: 10.3.0
✓ Some minor bugsDoesn’t refresh to current day when opening. Forecast not always updated and can get completely different conditions on the day. App looks good and functions well. Expecting more attention to detail for the price.Version: 9.5.2
✓ CamsI feel the quality on the cams is great but would lile shorter ads.Version: 10.3.3
✓ SurflineSurfline is a rly sick app , it’s rly cool how there is a discount for young people as myself as for i am 16. One thing that is quite annoying is that the quality is good ish but if you zoom in at all, to try to spot yourself out of the crowd it is nearly impossible too recognize yourself. But I am great full that there is even a camera at my local beach In the first place. One thing that is really interesting about Surfline is a full paragraph about when and why the best time of the day is going to be to surf , this is sick as I learn about what conditions are good and why. Thanks Surfline.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Great site!I run the open water diving for a scuba club and use your site everyday to write up a dive site evaluation list. The “poor” surf conditions are our good dive conditions!! The surf height and direction helps me pick safer spots to dive, recommending those with protection from the swell…Thanks for this great tool for enhancing fun and improving safety!.Version: 10.1.4
✓ Good app, butFor lesser known and lesser frequented surf spots it’s very important to cross check with windy.com, because surfline often get their wind data wrong. That’s one thing I miss from msw..Version: 10.3.3
✓ Great AppGet all you need to plan your surfing day from this app.Version: 10.9.0
✓ Great service10 out of 10. Very helpful and accurate information..Version: 10.1.4
✓ Perfect to sometimes poor surf reaportsMost of the time Surfline has good surf reaports but sometimes has unrealizable size reaports..Version: 10.1.4
✓ Love the new look!Very clear and accurate forecasts on the new app. Would like news and features content added to home page filter. Great clarity - thanks.Version: 9.5.2
✓ Good siteStill room for improvement but not to bad considering what we had. Good work.Version: 8.0.4
✓ All the good parts of MSW and few more but missing some features.Realise Surfline joined forces with MSW so always going to be comparing to them. Traffic light system is great! So far forecast been accurate for SE Scotland. Like the clear legibility of the browser. Tide times vary on some of beaches due to the Firth of Forth, so tides need adjusting. Would be good to get tide times on forecast days. So can see tide chart few days ahead and plan times. MSW used to do a secondary swell which was useful to see how clean sets would be. Great content but app could be be five stars with few tweaks..Version: 9.10.0
✓ Charged but no premiumWas offered a good annual fee and accepted. Paid, seen from my banking app money is taken but Surfline app said it failed. No premium and also discount offer also vanished. Poor start. Update: I saw -restore your premium membership- under settings and it was sorted. Meanwhile the support team responded to my concern so good to see they are also responsive..Version: 10.3.3
✓ Face heightLoving Surfline with reports and cameras the only comment is the inconsistency with face height / description of height of waves. Not sure what else you can do though as it’s so subjective! Good luck.Version: 8.1.1
✓ I made the jumpI was always trying to watch the cams for free and just got over it. I thought you know what i will use the free trial and see if it “that much better” and it really is. As soon as i used it as a premium service i realised ahh okay this is the go. Im more then happy to pay 6-7 bucks a month so i can watch the cams for a decent amount before i decide to drive to the beach. Very well worth it. If you’re curious like me just try the free trial. Im happy i did..Version: 9.0.1
✓ Always improving - Worth subscribingI’m eating my words! The app is just getting better and I’m happy to pay for the privilege of ad free, rewindable cam footage, decent forecasts - summaries and detailed for the weather nerds, and interesting news. Love the new interface format. My only enhancement request is zooms is news images & of course more cams!.Version: 10.1.1
✓ Great appGreat forcast app. Cams and sync to Dawn Patrol surf tracker is very cool..Version: 9.0.1
✓ FeedbackNew to the site, seems great, and picks up nicely from magic seaweed. Would be good to have a little more info about personally selected waves, but I guess that comes in the paid-for premium info, which I have not yet explored..Version: 10.4.3
✓ You can’t go wrongAs a premium subscriber for as long as I can remember, this company has saved me a bunch in gas money as well as heartache when a swell never materializes as forecast - which happens. I love the articles, swell breakdowns, stories and features. And I’m 100% sure I’m not even using all the features available. I have learned a lot about swells, how they form, watching weather, looking for swell fetch, direction, which swells work best at my favorite spots and super interesting things like bathymetry and swell shadowing. Whether it’s incoming swells or the why’s of this and that, these guys are the best and definitely keep you informed. If you surf frequently (or use the ocean in any way), this service is worth every cent. 💯.Version: 6.5.0
✓ Nice improvement.Great improvement Surfline. I can see a lot of thought went into this. Small annoyance. When I’m checking out the local cam I can’t close a full screen video or mute the sound when the ad kicks in. Pretty much hijacks my phone until it ends. Otherwise great navigation and UX..Version: 8.4.1
✓ Reliable fun and easy.I use other sources too but this is an app I often go to for local reports when short on time and I find it to be a good one. Its lame if I’m not checking the waves via software applications like this. I hope to put the time aside soon to understand weather reports well enough to read the conditions in the paper. 😎.Version: 9.3.0
✓ AwesomeGreat to know the good spots! Quick and easy!.Version: 10.1.4
✓ Great but annoying sometimesThe app in general is great it ticks off most of that smaller towns surf spots, I would definitely recommend this compared to other surf apps like magic seaweed. It can just get annoying sometimes because without premium you can only check the surf 3 times per day..Version: 7.3.1
✓ Love this appOk, first, As stated, I love this app. I don’t mind paying the price of a coffee monthly to be able to go online and see sunrises and sunsets. I love being able to project onto my living room tv as I listen to the sounds of surf. I wish I lived on the beach but this app, yes with its surf reports I don’t use much, is delightful. I wish more cameras were available, but it’s not like there aren’t plenty. If I can’t be at the each, this app still gives me some of the enjoyment of being there. Now my pet peeve. Nothing big, just interferes with my Zen on a morning because it repeatedly asks “are you still there”. Seems fairly frequent relative to what I recall. Did something change?.Version: 8.2.1
✓ Mostly goodThe wave report is pretty good. Kinda funny when you give different wave sizes for beaches a few k’s apart, on the same coast (Piha, Maori Bay). I do notice a regular underestimation, but generally not too bad. Adding cameras is always welcome. 😄.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Love the live camerasVery worth the premium for the live cameras. Saves having to wait every 10mins-20mins for a still shot compared to other webcam sites. And makes it easy to decide if to head out or not. Just wish there were more cameras and angles around the east coast of NZ (Tawharanui).Version: 10.9.0
✓ Great App!I really enjoy using this app as I am a frequent surfer, and don’t really like it when I get down to the beach having no idea whether the surf is good or not. Surfline gives me all the information that I need to know the proper conditions. Overall, very good app! 👌👍.Version: 9.1.0
✓ On pointAlways accurate and specific to the break. Great quality cams.Version: 10.3.3
✓ SurflineThe Best!!!.Version: 10.3.3
✓ Great appI love this app and use it all the time. The guys writing the reports seem to know what their talking about. The cameras a fairly good, the quality could be better tho. The multi cam is great where available. A few more spots with multiple cam would benefit users greatly. I would recommend combining the shark tracker app with this somehow. A collaboration with the two apps and better quality camera vision as mentioned would bring this app up to a 5 star app. In conclusion I would definitely recommend this app for others to use..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Pretty good but please..Great app really, love the live tide data especially. I think a feature where you can browse surf spots world wide sorted by rating. Eg, any spots classed as epic right now come up first. Would be super fun.Version: 7.5.5
✓ Expensive. . . Worth it.I live inland, so I need to be able to plan my trips to the coast—in other words, I need the premium service. Surfline costs more than most streaming services, which seems a tad outrageous, to be honest. Magic Seaweed used to provide similarly reliable forecasting for 3 bucks—of course, they’re owned by Surfline now, so. . . For all my complaining about price, though, they do provide great surf reporting, even daily surf updates from reliable guides in certain locales. The star I took away certainly isn’t because the site/app isn’t good—it is. Very good. Lots of cams, accurate modeling (well, as accurate as 16-day modeling can be, def accurate within three days or so). It’s just too expensive, imo. I’ll have to cancel after summer, when my trips to the coast will be less frequent. Overall, it is really quite good..Version: 9.7.1
✓ My feedbackI think this service is totally awesome and a benefit to everyone…surfers and non surfers. My only suggestion would be ‘more’ live cams at some ‘more’ of the major beaches and even include some more river mouths etc???? Hope this helps but I’m a BIG fan of this site and app..Version: 9.0.1
✓ Love the appHi all. I don’t use the app for surfing but use the app to find out the sea state before my family go out on our kayaks. Gives me the sea state and wind direction. Really use full app. Thankyou..Version: 10.1.4
✓ PaulSurfline is one of the greatest advances in surfing technology. I can’t imagine going back to the days of the recorded lifeguard reports or hope as the decision points for where and when to surf. I’m not wild about the scolding presentation of articles on the website and prefer a more static presentation to click into and out of. Finally, it seems that your surf report criteria for poor, fair and good is based primarily on weather conditions and not wave quality. I’d like to see more transparency on the criteria used and more emphasis on wave shape and quality in your reporting. Over all, couldn’t do it without Surfline! Thanks.Version: 10.4.2
✓ FeedbackA mate told me about this app and thank god he did... Makes my life much easier trying to predict my favourite breaks as I live away from them.. awesome stuff team!.Version: 9.8.2
✓ Love it!!Really love the consistency of the cams working and how many are available. Find that the updates from the locals in that area too are spot on!.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Very goodVery good polished app , all the cams are good even better at some spots to what magic seaweed used to have , plus you can view multiple locations on one page to get a good comparison of conditions, so very easy to navigate and add new spots as well. Some of the cams lately have been a bit glitchy so they need to get the cams working better.Version: 10.1.4
✓ Good layoutJust changed to Surfline from Magicseaweed. Took a little getting used to but now like the layout with webcams where available at the top of the page. Easy to skip through locations and clear detailed information..Version: 9.7.1
✓ Awesome, Highly recommend.This app is awesome. It is easy to navigate and can tell u the swell of all you local areas and the distance from where you are to the location. This app even predicts the swell for the next few days go you can organise a surf and be prepared. Highly recommended 🤩🤩.Version: 7.2.6
✓ Use it everyday.Love this app. I use it everyday to see where the best spots are on the Gold Coast and to know what the wind, tide and forecasts are. It’s the next best thing to actually having a house on the beach and being able to see where the surfs at each morning. Great job Surfline..Version: 7.5.2
✓ The best app goingAbsolutely love the app, easy to use, looks amazing, interactive. I think the Apple Watch component tracking a surf is great displaying HR, it would be good to sink the surf data to other health and fitness platforms such as strava. Also would be cool to get those little info icons next to swell, the periods and seconds to briefly explain what they mean and how it works..Version: 10.1.4
✓ Very happy with the appGreat app and easy to navigate. The work these guys put into the daily forecasts is amazing and usually spot on. Cameras are good and it would be nice to have a few more but they are always adding..Version: 10.3.2
✓ Accurate, Easy & ConvenientAs someone who is new to surfing, easy to understand and easy to navigate around the app! Basic features is enough and not a con into getting premium features to have access to the info you need! Pretty accurate.Version: 10.3.2
✓ Join for the informative forecasts, stay for great surf storiesSurfline has the best surf reporters who color the swell and wind graphs with descriptive context that help me better understand the weather models’ overlay on the coast and surf spots that I frequent. They help me decide to go or not to go. The surf stories covering recent swells both locally and in other countries, and info about surf contests, makes Surfline my go to source for surfing news too. The app and website are intuitive and fluid making my experience when using them “chill” (not frustrating). I am a premium subscriber of this fantastic service..Version: 7.5.6
✓ Buranimal Surfline reviewOverall pretty good job even though I like giving you guys a hard time online, the reports are pretty on with the occasional early or late call , but appreciate those when I’m on it 🤣🤙🏽 What I could say is putting a few cams that are specifically for people to download clips , people love themselves and I think that would be a lucrative move as far as gaining and keeping subscribers. Ex, if you put a cam on the surf Museum or the roof of the snack shack/bathrooms at the lane guys could get really good evening clips at the slot . Even cameras on the piers themselves, with higher definition so people can zoom in crop and still have good useable content. Evening and morning angles to avoid glare .. etc Anyway there’s my 14 cents .. (inflation) Hope it helps 🤙🏽.Version: 8.0.4
✓ Great appThe live feed is great for planning on the day but also planning ahead through other parts the app , good accurate information for surfers and other water sports, just love it and thank you to the developers.Version: 10.12.2
✓ GreatAll you need.Version: 10.7.0
✓ We’ve all benefitted from SurflineThe new checks feature may not be everyone’s favorite, but it’s still free. If you’ve used the free version for years, it’s maybe a bummer in some ways now, but it wasn’t like Surfline stole money from you. A lot of people are quick to say nasty things, but Surfline has given everyone I know who surfs valuable information. They’re not always accurate, but neither is any other forecasting service. I love being able to see the tides, winds,& direction of swell so many days out. I’ve saved a lot of time and energy by being able to glance at cams. I’ve known what days were worth waking up early. Recommend doing some of your own research and buoy data gathering as well so that Surfline can help make decisions for you, and not be your sole source of information. It seems like a lot of discontent arises from people who expect Surfline to be a perfect crystal ball. That’s just not realistic. No one or model can do that yet. Isn’t Netflix about 100$ a year too? Isn’t surfing better than Netflix ?.Version: 7.2.1
✓ My “go to” source for all surf reportsSurfline is much improved with better organization and detail regarding multiple surf spots..Version: 9.2.2
✓ Just wide of the markThe Surfline app is great no real issue although not sure if I liked the last update, but change is Hard LOL. The Umina surf cam misses the best part of the beach break it pans to quickly from the south to the north the main break is usually in the middle Which means If you are looking back at the dawn patrol app you never see a wave The new camera is much clearer.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Best ever !!????Where’s the search gone? Anticipation!? It’s still there to an extent if you are willing to get off the beaten track and explore, but when do we ?, Do you have the time? Now’s the time , it’s all ya got at the end of the day , it’s precious !!...this app makes it easy to plan and get prepared in a modern world where time constraints need to be factored Live Large & Get More Waves WeedsWormMushyTheToad.Version: 6.8.7
✓ Great appI use this with my Garmin surf watch. Surf report is pretty accurate, at least as good as the local surf forecast websites. Going on the app on the phone provides a lot of detail to make decisions on which breaks to hit and which ones to miss..Version: 8.2.1
✓ Great video quality of my favourite spotI love the video quality and details about surf conditions, swell, wind direction the app makes available for us. Thank you so much..Version: 10.1.4
✓ SurflineGreat app, accurate, good estimates.Version: 10.0.1
✓ SurflineWonderful site and love all the data. Model accuracy is a bit off for both wind and waves in the last 6-12 months. Perhaps due to wave buoys being out of service. Overall - amazing site!! I Depend on you guys everyday and you deliver!!!!.Version: 10.1.3
✓ First class!Great up to date info. Very informative and detailed helping to give a great picture of the surf that day and also the week ahead. Brilliantly clear webcams too..Version: 9.8.3
✓ SurfLineGreat app can see the surf before and on the way to the beach good quality and lots of written information about the beach for etc wind speed, wind direction, surf hight and this is all without the premium option once at again recommend it and should get if you like the beach.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Love itReally easy to use and I reckon it’s very accurate compared to some other forecasts.Version: 10.1.1
✓ SuperbWhat a site! It gives you everything you need. I’m a bodyboarder and expert in falling off a surfboard but I live 140 miles from a decent beach. I don’t want to travel that far with no waves and this site takes that risk away..Version: 10.1.4
✓ Absolutely amazingSurfline is amazing app in my opinion it helps me know when and what time to go surfing I would recommend to anyone with I phone iPad kindle or whatever device they may have verry easy to select what beach you want to look at verry easy to make an account if I was you I would totally download.Version: 10.3.2
✓ Amazing.I was bummed when MagicSeaweed was going under, but I have to say, I’m impressed with the new app..Version: 9.9.1
✓ Great app for surfing and sup boardingUse the app every day, if the waves good or better then it’s a surf day, if it’s poor to calm then the paddle board is out. The ability to aces the local beach cameras is a huge bonus as looking at the waves first hand helps decided what’s best. Really handy and highly recommended.Version: 10.1.4
✓ ForecastingWould be awesome for us waterman you north to get a little insight to the swell forecast for mid-north Queensland as in-depth as the more southern regions, Sunshine Coast ect. Not sure if you gotta know but there are some world class waves up here in the north. Just takes more time more money more effort to find and score. Good for thought:) would love too see some northern forecasts! Cheers legends.Version: 9.1.1
✓ Awesome wind and wave modelling charts!Animations are really useful planning tools, as with all weather modelling though, reality may be completely different and it’s worth checking more than one model. However, longer range forecast models are generally difficult to find and are useful for getting an idea of bigger picture patterns when you’re trying to plan ahead..Version: 10.1.3
✓ Ratso…it’s a bit generic, but charts and graphics are very easy to read and great indicators, miss your predecessors in your face real time assessments of conditions, but thanks for being there…… … live cam is great but be the death of the place, still at 70 I can’t have long to go…..Version: 10.6.0
✓ Old surferOnce I’d got familiar with Surfline it’s a great app. I work full time so ‘surf time ‘ is important and an accurate surf forecast is a ‘must have’ to confirm what the weather chart shows and save time. As a 60+ surfer I remember winter’s driving round all the West Cornwall , north and south, surf spots looking for a sheltered spot but ending up back where we started and in the Old Success Pub at Sennen. Think of the fuel we save now with Surfline App!!🤙.Version: 9.7.1
✓ NOT a kooky appLegit !.Version: 10.2.0
✓ The IWT trusts SurflineThe IWT uses Surfline for all of our long range and day to day forecasting for the International Wave Tour. When making big decisions about when to run big World Cup wave events in locations all around the world like Hawaii, Chile, Peru, Cloudbreak Fiji, USA, Spain, Germany, Japan and Australia, it’s great to have so much trust in a powerful platform like Surfline..Version: 10.4.4
✓ The best appAmazing.Version: 7.0.2
✓ Would recommendGreat app, helps having cameras so you can see the conditions.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Excellent appLove Surfline. Informative and good reports.Version: 9.5.2
✓ Amazing appsGood for day to day surf and surf trip.Version: 10.3.3
✓ Great app works wellEven without the premium version the app gives you what you need to know and shows it in a simple and clear way would recommend.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Love itGreat app! Lots of information provided and fairly accurate, I live in karitane(surf heaven) and it’s always accurate here on the app👌 Only down fall is the price to subscribe is rather high.Version: 7.5.7
✓ Sick appIf you surf, you should probably have it.Version: 10.3.3
✓ Nice upgradesBetter than MSW: same forecast, but with cams and added intel. Loving it..Version: 10.1.4
✓ NewbieNew to the app. Semi hard to navigate at first see how I get used to it. The swell And period and wind animation doesn’t seem to have the time shown on it??.Version: 10.1.4
✓ SizeCan’t say this is criticism because I don’t know your job. But the size around tofino area in the forecasts is always a good amount small or bigger in your forecasts. I don’t think this is helpful at all but it’s all I have. Might as well call it a back handled compliment I guess.Version: 10.3.3
✓ Saves heaps on gasI’d dig to calculate how much time and $ this app has saved me. But that would probs take even more time.. anyway..brilliant job!.Version: 10.1.4
✓ Awesome appLove the new features since it merged with MSW, particularly the way the videos on the beaches are an easy swipe to get a different perspective and that the video automatically expand when you tilt to landscape..Version: 10.2.0
✓ Pretty good accuracy but not always on point.The accuracy of the reports Ive found to be 90%, which is the best Ive seen. The cams are very helpful but for the spots with no cams be prepared to sometimes roll the dice. Sometimes its better than the surfline flrecaster might say. And sometimes it may be slightly worse. But they are usually close to what they forecast. This app has changed the game for me, Im surfing more and scoring better waves because of surfline..Version: 10.3.3
✓ Excellent App, but would still suggest a number of updatesMost recent update is great (hence the 5/5 review). However, one thing that consistently bothers me is the fact that there’s no click-through optionality on the little map that shows wind direction for a given break. It feels like a natural thing to click through and then be able to pull up a map by the break so that the user can zoom out a bit and explore other local breaks. It can be annoying to go all the way back to the “Explore” tab and then navigate to said break, and take a look around, versus being able to just click through and explore. Good for thought. Otherwise epic app, guys!.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Great appI like how it now lets you go to the next saved spot in order. (Before you used to have to scroll all the way back and forth to find the next one in the list). I wish they would fix Doheny state beaches camera. It now shows the river mouth instead of the main beach. It’s also great how you can zoom in as well. The “sessions” feature is cool too, but it could use some tweaking so that it only “records” when you actually catch a wave, instead of every wave out there, so you don’t have to delete most of them. If that is even possible. It’s not the end of the world if it can’t be done..Version: 7.5.0
✓ Seasick sam feedbackIrrelevant of what others think about Surfline , MSW is in the past now just like time , things change , nothing stays the same . I love Surfline it’s cool . I love that I can watch myself back after a surf hehehe.Version: 10.1.1
✓ Awesome appI’m loving the app so much it’s great to get good looks at where I should be going for my surf trips. I would love if there like an explore page or something along those lines where you could see some of the good spots in each area and maybe like the best spot of each coast or something. But enjoying the app so much totally worth the money.Version: 9.1.0
✓ Great surf forecastI always check the app before deciding where to surf. The app shows wave rates which is super handy..Version: 9.1.0
✓ Surf forecast and trackingThe app is worth having and paying for. I check it daily to find good windows for surfing. Sometimes it’s a bit off, but it’s the best solution that there is. The surf camera tracking is surprisingly cool. If you track your surf session with a Garmin watch and link your account to Surfline, you can get footage of waves that you caught when you’re surfing in front of a surf camera. The app will automatically break up the video feed by the waves that you caught. You can then download the videos and upload to IG stories. Although the footage is a bit far away, it’s passive and way easier than getting friends to take videos..Version: 10.1.4
✓ Don’t listen to the complainers, Surfline’s great.Like many surfers, I am a bit of a weather nerd. I keep a close eye on the best wind & weather info I can get, and Surfline is often more accurate than those sources….. I’m talking about hourly wind switches here. If you’re one of the people that expects a perfect wave and weather forecast, then you don’t understand what a forecast is. Maybe Mom and Dad are still driving you to the beach, and you expect perfect sessions to be served to you on a platter, like your private chef’s chicken tendies (which are actually just processed frozen crap anyway). That’s fine, but in the adult world we know there are no guarantees- only well educated guesses. And that even a great deal always involves some legwork. Surfline is a great deal- if you don’t like the forecasts, than I challenge you to do better. Plus, cams. Duh. The only way Surfline could not be worth the monthly $12 (or whatever it is now), is if you are a broke jobless beach bum who can check the surf 24/7. If so, congrats to you sir. For the rest of us, this is a lifesaver. Special shout-out to forecaster Richie Reyes, who looks like he had his profile pic taken while his hair was still wet..Version: 8.0.4
✓ Resisted for way too longReally value the data and the delivery of information..Version: 8.1.1
✓ Fantastic appThis is such a great surf app. I’m on the Surfcoast Victoria and the cameras are so clear all information is up to date and accurate the format is easy to read and find but most of all the cameras are amazing. There’s a hill in front of my house but over that hill is the camera so I can see the whole beach and the surf before I head out. Definitely worth the money..Version: 7.5.4
✓ Great app all roundThat app is great, however I’d like to see more deals/offers for other residents of the world other than the U.S. We all pay the same premium so why should these member discounts be only applicable for U.S residents. I’d also like to see the spot conditions and nearest boy (failed to load...) problem fixed. Even if you hit [RELOAD] it still fails. The spots in particular are on the Gold Coast/North NSW area and I know for a fact there is two government owned buoys within a very short distance of the spots. Thanks and keep up the good work. :) In response to developer: Yes. The premium perks should be available to everyone who is paying for premium as it states “Premium Perks”. I just don’t see why some perks are only available to select U.S customers and not members from other parts of the globe. This is not fair as we all pay the same price as far as I’m aware..Version: 6.3.1
✓ Great appIt’s hard to be perfect, but you can tell these folk try their best. Love upgrading to premo for surf trips. Otherwise Canada doesn’t relate much to the premium membership. If looking for great content go buy a Surfers Journal.Version: 9.1.0
✓ Never miss another SwellSurfline is my go to app to find out where the waves are pumping and if its worth the trip..Version: 7.2.6
✓ Great siteAccess to view my fav breaks Great news on what’s happening worldwide and excellent footage of serious surfers in very serious waves.Version: 9.1.1
✓ Great appReally well designed app with good insights about conditions. Cams are useful to align descriptions to conditions. The condition report is target more for pros but build a good understanding overall. Recommend.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Surfline appI’ve used magic seaweed for so long and after finally downloading this app, I’ve realised this is definitely the one for me. More info on wind directions, better daily updates and even more cameras on some beaches than msw has. Not saying msw is bad, it’s done me well for a long time but I think I’ll be using this app from now on. Good work guys.Version: 8.4.3
✓ GasssGreat quality and features 10/10 recommended if ur a surfer wanting to make sure those waves are pumping.Version: 10.12.3
✓ Great app - accurate daily dataGreat app, used it to find spots near me. Was useful in finding niche areas and the information is very accurate.Version: 10.11.1
✓ Sceptical at first, but it’s brilliantAs an ex-MSW user I was sceptical about the layout and features. Some of my favourite MSW features weren’t there and it seemed harder to use. Now that I’m using it daily, I’ve found my way and it’s brilliant, with slightly more information than MSW and once glance areas..Version: 9.8.3
✓ So easy to use!The surfline app on my Apple watch worked great! I went to look at my clips and it was pulling the waikiki to ala wai cam. I figured out pretty quickly how to change spots and it reloaded my clips from bowls. The interface is great how you can watch it in landscape view and pick the next clip. And I like how it keeps the scroll zoom you are using. I also like how you can star favorite waves and sort them after. The app was also so easy to use, just press start and end. If the cams were higher resolution that would be amazing. It get's pretty grainy when you zoom in. Overall, I'm really stoked on the product and I plan to keep using it. It saves me so much time looking for clips and trying to remember what time I caught a wave. This is a breakthrough in technology for me..Version: 6.0.1
✓ Great appGreat app. Has all the local surf spots in my area, lots of details and very accurate forecasts..Version: 10.4.2
✓ Stoked with Surfline.I live remotely from surf breaks so surfline saves me heaps of time and travel. Reports are up to the minute and super accurate especially when there are cameras. It’s great to see the local beaches as well as what’s happening in Australian beaches where my son lives..Version: 10.1.1
✓ Great cams worth every pennyLove since MSW merged with Surfline and especially love the cams and being able to swipe through my favorite spots visually..Version: 10.4.2
✓ The best app to track swellThe best app to track swell in most places, love the notification feature too.Version: 10.8.0
✓ Great Platform - Opportunities for Continuous ImprovementSurfline is the most comprehensive platform yet for surfaholics. The team seems like they are genuinely interested in putting out the best product possible. There are occasionally issues with cameras being down, and I think that especially for my local breaks in Central FL the camera angles could be better. I’m not a fan of cameras that pan because it seems like every time I have a good ride the camera is pointed away from me, but the app is easy to use and generally captures all my rides and even attempts on GPS. Sometimes it pulls random video where I didn’t even attempt to paddle for a wave, but I would rather go through the extra footage than miss a ride. One thing I would really like to see is an improved iPadOS interface. It seems like it is just a scaled version of the mobile interface and the way it is cropped is weird and can be kind of disorienting when navigating through the app. Overall it is a great experience, and I like the effort being put into cross-app connectivity because I think it is good for surfing as a whole, growing the community, increasing awareness of how our actions impact the ecosystems we rely on for recreation, and sharing the stoke. Looking forward to seeing where this platform goes in the future!.Version: 7.1.0
✓ Love it!!This app has been amazing for me. I live in Noosa hinterland and can’t be driving each day to check the surf conditions. Having this app has been so handy for me to have a quick look at what’s going on at my favourite surf spots. The only thing I would ask is to please place a camera in Point Arkwright & Yaroomba? 🙏.Version: 8.0.2
✓ Great app overallIt’s really a great app but I would like if you didn’t need premium to watch the cams but overall a very great app.Version: 9.2.2
✓ First impressionsTakes a bit of getting used to after years with MSW, but starting to get the hang of it and the webcams seem superior on this platform. Charts move slower which is a good thing. Think I will be happy with the changes..Version: 9.5.2
✓ Go to site for surf reportI have been a Surfline subscriber since the beginning and have taken advantage of the all the services you have to offer. The stories are well done and keep me reading after a surf check. My biggest issue is sometimes the forecasts are sometimes overly optimistic and draw too many surfers to my local break even when it’s not that good. I may be giving Surfline too much credit for drawing too many surfers to my local spot but it’s always crowded and especially so when the “fair to good” rating shows up. Maybe you can provide some surf etiquette lessons for all the beginners that are entering the water these days. Surfer Sal.Version: 8.1.1
✓ AmazingGreat app really recommend it to any surfer or open water swimmer, tells you wave hight,tides,its got beach cams everything a surfer needs.Version: 10.8.0
✓ Great app and UI, constantly improvingBeen a premium subscriber for years now, love to see how much effort the team behind Surfline has put into consistently improving the iOS and web app as well as constantly pushing out new forecasting features and ironing out bugs w/ patch updates. Definitely the go-to for anything related to surf/weather conditions! The forecasted color coded charts are beautifully designed and feature a host of different metrics - swell height w/ vector arrows, period, energy, wind, rain etc. I use the charts for checking future weather conditions over other apps like Apple weather or the weather channel.Version: 10.11.1
✓ Amazingggg!!Best app I have ever used and so convenient :).Version: 10.3.3
✓ Awesome AppGreat range of cameras to look at around the world along with some good information about conditions for the surf breaks.👍 Love the update of the home page now that you can scroll through your favourite surf breaks and see the live pictures straight away. Great addition.🌊 Would be good if local time could be located straight under live stream. But still a great app..Version: 9.0.0
✓ Surfline covers it allSite offers a very comprehensive overview of all aspects of surfing…not limited to just reports, and always interesting to see what is going on in rest of world..Version: 9.0.1
✓ Great info not always accurateAs we become more reliant on swell models and news to tell us what to expect and when to plan a trip we rely more and more on companies like Surfline, with there forecasting and historic information we can plan trips months in advance and have a much smaller chance of being skunked. That said there local forecasting could use a little boost in accuracy 3-4 and it’s solid 6ft that’s a nice surprise, but 6-7 occ. 8 and it’s 2-4ft? Now that’s a serious disappointment... unfortunately the later has been happening far too often lately and the swells are hitting 1-2 days before or after their predictions forecast. That said conditions change, models are not always accurate, it’s weather so you can’t expect perfection unless you are in a wave pool. That’s said it’s a valuable tool that I use daily. Thank you!.Version: 7.2.2
✓ Surfline rulesOne app to rule them all. One app that binds..Version: 10.3.0
✓ Great AppVery useful to gauge the surf from the comfort of your phone. Thank you SurfLine! Improvement suggestion: 1. Allow manual panning of cameras (could be assigned to a viewer, selected at random) 2. Certain beaches only have the camera pointed at one corner, should allow for panning to see full beach..Version: 10.1.3
✓ Surfline forecastsYour surf forecasts are detailed and accurate and allow me to predict the wave conditions at my local beaches. It is very rare for them to not be correct and I always get better surfs due to the amount of accurate information available..Version: 10.7.0
✓ Jacques ColquhounGreat tool to have, the app gives you a n honest report of what’s going at my favourite break’s & when curiosity gets to me I’ll check out what’s going on at any break I can think of. I love the app & look forward to anything new you might add to later..Version: 9.0.1
✓ Corndogs reviewBest surf app I’ve ever used and the premium plan is really affordable for the yr I would recommend to anyone who wants a accurate surf report and surf cams.Version: 9.1.2
✓ Useful quick access to spot data.Not sure WTH this app is doing. Just reading a forecast with no video playing heats up the GPU as much as a top end game, 2% a minute kind of battery use. This just a pretty version of the website, it shouldn’t do that. EDIT Feb 2023: The developers have fixed overuse of CPU/GPU and the app runs well. Quick and convenient access to cams and swell conditions..Version: 9.1.2
✓ What would we do without Surfline!I have loved Surfline since Sean Collins started it back in the early 80s, I’m guessing? They could go out 2 to 3 weeks and predict right to the hour when a swell would arrive making it easy to make my schedule as an RN and beach lifeguard so that I was able surf great wave on my days off. It’s still the gold standard and I love that the live cams allow you to go anywhere that the waves are great and watch a beautiful world class surfbreak with the WebCams. They keep it fresh with wonderful stories and big wave footage every day. The weekly surf movies have been a blast. Worth every penny. Aloha 🍍 Mark Agnello.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Keeps getting better !I use Surfline more than any other app. Working from home , the new features focused on providing more hour by hour forecasting are useful to help plan my surfs! I would like to see more accurate/ current /forecast water temps… Also the new energy feature seems like it has potential… but linking it to what is experienced and waves is tough. what is hard to understand is scale. 10 times the energy seems like a massive difference but.. Also is there a way to show bottom conditions? The last swell changed the southbay dramatically yet the forecasts seemed to be based on the old assumptions. Eg for an extended time last fall el Porto wasn’t even breaking but would forecast better than say south pier..Version: 10.4.1
✓ Great long range forecastEasy to read graphics Has the necessary information to plan ahead Has no peski adds in prime screen positions.Version: 9.0.1
✓ Great appAllows me to stay on top of surf.Version: 9.9.1
✓ Great!!I’ve had it for a few months and I’ll always check everyday for some waves. Suprisingly most have been actuate with the hieght and the winds which makes you want to use the app more often! If you don’t have the premium it is a bit hard to look at the swell over the week because it only allows 2 days. But if you do which you can buy, it’s amazing. You also get full access to the Surf Cams set up around the world!.Version: 9.5.2
✓ Life Well LivedFrom the days of dial up when PK gave us the local surf report the world of wave prediction has evolved along a technological path of perfection. Maybe it’s that embedded spirit that surfing imparts to you in that anything you do, you do for surf. It’s not just the spiritual journey of wave riding but also the incredible humans you meet along the way. What does all this ethereal dissertation have do with reviewing The Surfline App? Since you asked I will tell: it’s so obvious the people who have dedicated their lives to making this App are true Surfer’s at heart. No doubt they could easily have taken higher paying jobs with NOAA or other Federally funded weather, and/ or atmospheric condition data collection Agencies. It’s their love of all things surf that has kept them here, at Surfline. Because every true surfer knows Surfline is the Gold Standard of surf prediction. It’s how it’s always been and always will be. I guess the question is: Will you be going for the Gold? Do yourself a favor and make it so..Version: 10.8.0
✓ Great AppSo far I have found the app pretty accurate in planning my time to surf. Great for keeping an eye on regular spots as well as learning to read swells and wind direction. Happy.Version: 10.1.3
✓ Easy to see surf conditions in the are you are inFantastic use of location and map of the area, very easy to see the conditions in the area you are currently in. Navigating the map is much easier than magic seaweed, but I miss the local reports..Version: 10.3.2
✓ Great app would like the wind view differentI have so many Surf/ wind/ tide apps and for a bit fed up of them all! However I found this by accident and so glad I did! This has all you need for your surfing needs. My only thing I would like to see is the wind view. Online there is a compass view of the wind direction which is great for a Visual glance of onshore/ offshore wind direction. However in the app it’s a time line and I never know whether SW NW is onshore / off shore where I live/ visit. If there was a view like that, this would be the icing on the cake in the app. This site also works with my watch face on my Garmin. So doubly happy there as I have the day right on my wrist!.Version: 7.1.0
