  • Shame on you!

    I loved this app until you required me to purchase the pro package to view the cameras! Why was it ok to have free access to the cameras for all those years and now it must be purchased? I patiently watched the advertisements and was happy to watch the ads in order to see the live camera feeds. Shame on you for taking that away, especially in this economy. Even a few dollars a month is more than we can afford. It is obvious that you care more about increasing your profits than helping surfers and beach goers know where best to go and enjoy the surf. I have erased your app from my phone; you will no longer have the privilege of my support.

  • PLEASE ADD NOTIFICATIONS

    I like most of y’all check MSW every day, but yall need to add the option of notifications when the swell is up in your area. You can add sliders to how big you want it to get before you are notified/ wind conditions etc. I surf, fish, skim pretty much every hobby i have is on the water and it would just be nice when im busy to have a notification go off and tell me a strong S wind is coming in if i got a early morning fishing trip planned.

  • Mainly awesome, but webcam view on iPad not expanding to full page.

    Mainly awesome but had to subscribe to get webcam feature to work - which is extremely handy to see conditions at my local beaches (Joss & Viking bays in Kent).

    However, on my iPad the view of webcams it does not go to full screen. It does work via the safari browser though - so not the end of the world - and means I can have multiple tabs open - to view both at the touch of one button.

  • MSW review

    As a SCUBA diver, I always check the weather and the waves along with the swells to see if it’s gonna be a good dive day. It would be nice to know water temperature, jelly fish/sealice warnings and local Inlet waves. In coming/outgoing tides. I personally have been out attempting to go through an inlet where MSW has said FLAT and the waves were so big we were nearly capsized. That is scary to depend on a website and have that happen. These additions would be nice.

  • Atlantique

    I’ve worked as a lifeguard at Atlantique for over 35 years and I can’t believe that we are on Magic seaweed Thanx it’s awesome I use your website all the time in the summer to check the waves and tides.
    I used fair harbor because it was the closest beach about a 1/2 mile away on the ocean. The new Atlantique tides should be almost the same but the tide table that is being used is on the bay side. Any way you can change it to the ocean tides.
    I would love to hear back from you.

  • Great free surf app

    This is like Surfline but free! Forecasts are excellent and being able to track your favourite breaks is awesome. Yes there could be more breaks but overall it’s solid and you can use your own skills to adjust the forecast for other close by breaks that are not listed.
  • My Go-To Forecaster

    Where all else fails, MSW rises above a sea of inaccurate predictions and over priced models. I always preferred magic seaweed over the others, but when swellinfo went down for a few years and Surfline locked anything beyond a 2 day forecast behind a paywall the choice became a no brainer. Simple and clean layout, and it’s easy to find any info you need within. Highly recommend.

  • Not a surfer...

    But I love to watch them. We don’t get much of that on the Gulf of Mexico. I do like to walk on the beach every morning. I check this app for where the tide is (high or low makes a huge difference on the walk) I also like to go early so I check to see first light and sunrise. Finally on my Saturday morning beach read-a-thon, I can check and see where to put my chair so I don’t have to move 10 times. I have used so many other tide apps but this is by far the very best, and you don’t have to be a surfer to appreciate!

  • Thank You!

    This is an awesome app, especially for a noob like myself. Gives me an idea of what I’m getting into and has given me a closer understanding of the relationship between wind speed/direction, tides, and wave period (speed), to know what conditions are optimal for me. I go out regardless, but it’s nice to know, even after a session, how the conditions impacted my time on the water. Thanks so much!!

  • Best Surfing App

    MS App is best I’ve seen with accurate detailed information so I don’t waste time going to the beach and being disappointed. The hourly projections allow me to time my surf to perfection. When I get to the beach I know exactly what it will look like.
