5/5Great app - thanks!
Thank you for making your data / app available as a mobile app, in addition to the website. You might not be the biggest / most popular surfing forecast app, BUT you are the most comprehensive and whenever i got to less typical / popular location, you got that covered - thank you and appreciate the new mobile app! :)

5/5Better than Surfline
I prefer this app over Surfline because it doesn’t override my audio like Surfline does. As someone with autism, I’m sensitive to apps that take control of sound without warning. This app respects that, which makes a big difference for accessibility. Overall, Surf Forecast does a much better job in terms of usability and accessibility

5/5Best value forecast app
The annual subscription for this app is a deal! 12 day forecast for long term planning… and the hourly forecast for making the call between local breaks. Offers more details than Surfline. Most importantly, energy. Not all 3’ days are the same and this criteria (alone with period, direction and wind forecast) seem to be the best currently available.

5/5Makes my trips better
No matter where I go I know about what board to take and what to expect pretty accurate and makes my drive easier to justify the the other half ;)

2/5Wave height accurate, ratings are not
It correctly predicts the height of waves at half a dozen spots in the bay area, but it will randomly suggest a spot is pumping (gold stars) when it’s literally so flat and mushy the wave is not catchable. Probably over indexing on wind and under indexing on tides and stuff. Its also alleging a cross breeze is an offshore on some breaks which are oriented wrong. Also annoying to have to drag a slider to inspect the ratings at different times instead of showing me everything at a glance like the other apps.
