  • True surf app stats

    I’ve tried other surf apps and they’re all a little bit rubbish, either the Cam’s don’t work on all the sites you want to compare or their surf report is the same for 300 km radius. This one at least just gives you the specific weather conditions important to a surfer to know the places to be at.

    The only fault I have ever found is the wind speed and direction can be off, but its only been a few times.

    and the app asks for a review nearly every week which is getting annoying

  • Very accurate forecasting

    I appreciate how accurate you guys are compared to Surfline in the Oregon area. I wish you guys had more cams to view in the Oregon area though. I feel like the star system is hard to gauge at times too, I’ve been on days where it was forecasted at 5 stars that were much worse than 3 star days so to somehow streamline that would be helpful. Thanks for all you guys do though

  • Waves

    I love to check the waves and make sure that there great for me to go out in! It tells you correct information and I look at it every morning before I go to the beach!! I also use it for Surf carnivals because it will talk about the wind and temperature and how big or small the waves are. So thank you for such an amazing app, I would recommend to those who need it. 👍

  • Magic Seaweed recommendation

    My uncle, who’s been surfing for 20 odd years, recommended I use Magic Seaweed for reliable and accurate information of Surf in our area which is great for a beginner like me!
  • Better than most, but.....

    This is probably the best forecasting app I have found. But there are a few places along my coastline that it consistently gets way off... Bells Beach is called about 4 ft bigger than the rest of the coast every day of the year.. yes the topography of the bottom at Bells can push swell a bit bigger than other spots nearby and sometimes it is even close to 4 ft bigger but every single day.. it’s just laughable.

  • Easy to read and accurate

    Thanks team, the forecasts are clear and easy to understand and usually right on the money. Churr.
  • Best daily conditions

    Good app, I find it’s really easy to read the star features, which makes me think of different locations to surf, and love the different surf breaks to choose from. It’s super intuitive.

    While not always accurate, it does provide a good starting point of where to look.

    It would be great if you could find where to find the best surf on the day within a state or a specified km radius from a map point.

  • Almost perfect

    For the most part I love this app and use it daily. However there are two annoying things I would love to see fixed. 1. When I switch to fullscreen webcam on my iPad I have to turn the iPad upside down in order to watch the webcam. Seems silly. It would also be nice to have a landscape view of the app so I can continue using my iPad as normal when checking the app. 2. It would be great if I could create a custom order for the favorite spots list.
    Thanks for your hard work on this app. I hope it continues to improve! 🤙

    Developer Response

    Thanks for this review, we will get on the cam rotation issue as soon as we can. There is a way to reorder Favorites by tapping the "Edit" button in the top left and then dragging your spots into the position in the list you would like. Let us know if you have any other thoughts. - David
  • Amazing app

    This app is an amazing app if you are either getting into surfing or already started surfing, it shows you everything you need to know about the surf swell, the wind and everything else that you want to see as well as the extra few things like a camera to show you the current surf and that is why I have used this app so frequently because it is the best app on App Store for surfing

  • Best App Out There

    I used to have to look up surf reports online until one of my coworkers showed me this app. You can add your favorite surf spots and get the current wave height for each of them on the same screen. I gave it five stars because there are no pop up advertisements. One suggestion I have now that iOS 14 supports widgets would be to make a widget for the Home Screen that displays wave height for specific surf spots. Thanks to everyone involved with creating this application and running MagicSeaweed, you rock! 🤙🏼
