Magic Seaweed
The app is/was easier to use/better set up than Surfline. I get they merged but would be nice to still have the option for the traditional view. I still had the MS app on this phone and was able to use it since the merge. I had no option but download the SL app on my new phone last month. The only way I could get it to work was sign up. Give my email. I had already signed up years ago but didn’t like the SL app and went back to MS. I had forgot the password and used the reset. The feature was buggy and took 4 times to get it to work. Sorry for the long winded review but what it comes down to. The free Magic Seaweed app was far better than tge free Surfline app and you didn’t have to sign up to use it. Hopefully the SL app will improve with time but for now it’s a 1 star app in my opinion.Show lessTGCS101
Inaccurate
Never had a problem with Magic Seaweed, couldn’t fault them - their app layout was easy to read/use and the forecast was always accurate. Since MSW have joined Surfline, I’ve had to try look for another app - as Surfline is inaccurate. I live in a city and drove 4 hours (there and back) for no surf at all because the app was wrong. I checked 3 different beaches and each one had an incorrect forecast on the app.
I had used Surfline in the past before MSW and had the same problem back then.Show lessJo18x

I live 90 mins from my fav surf spot. I rely on MS to let me know whether it’s worth the drive what board to bring and what suit to bring based on conditions.

So much better than surf line. Please don’t go. The simple charts at a glance are so much easier to navigate then the text that surf line generates.Duckmab
amazing info!
It’s accurate and shows the best swell so you could go rip up some waves. Love this, life saver!Sadie AB

Very useful. I run the open water scuba diving for a local club and find the site very helpful in picking calm sites! A button to toggle between US numbers and metric would be handy.KillsandraM
The best
Interested to see what the merge with Surfline does. I live in Texas where the surf is very inconsistent and magicseaweed is perfection, free reasonably accurate forecast, I like scrolling through the uploaded user pics of that spot, and always make not of the advice MSW gives you about a particular spot.
I have a 4 hour drive to the coast so it’s not just hop in my truck when the surf is good, plus I work a Mon- Fri. $30 a month for Surfline is not justifiable when I’m only able to go once every 1-2 months.
Hoping the merge doesn’t start requiring payment for a forecast past 1 day like Surfline.Show lessBrettwags

Not sure what the pro have to offer. But the app as is seems to do greatSqorpius
