Leave a Review MSW Surf Forecast
  • Key to my planning

    I’ve used magic seaweed for a few years now and it is always the first app I check. It’s views are simple and clear and accurate. If things look interesting on a specific day I validate the forecast with other apps. I have to drive 2 hours to surf so accuracy is vital. I definitely consider this the best all around most user friendly.

  • Great Visibility

    All my areas are visible and the forecast is bang on! Great tool and covers everything I need to make a quick call on getting to the water.
  • Perfect surf app

    So easy to use, you can jump on the app at anytime and see what the waves will be like. It takes no time to learn how to read the forecast which makes it perfect when you just wanna jump in the car and go for a surf without the logic puzzle of a complicated forecast. Thanks Magic Seaweed!
  • Love it

    Love Magic Seaweed... living a bit further from the coast than I’d like, Magic Seaweed makes it super easy to plan a quick trip down the coast for surf a few days in advanced with accurate swell forecasts. Use it all the time!
  • MSW surf App

    MagicSeaWeed is a great app for aspiring young groms like myself, it gives you an accurate review of the swell, wind levels, wind direction all over the globe, to add to this, it gives the forecast for the whole week, and it’s own traffic light system telling you whether it’s worth going to the beach! My problem with MSW is that, it’s not totally accurate all of the time, it’s much more efficient to pop down to the beach and check the surf, MSW sometimes estimates the wind levels too high. I understand that if you don’t live near the beach, it is easier to look at an app on your mobile phone, than to drive 3 hours to check the swell. Overall I think it’s an excellent app with some things it could change to improve it.

  • Accurate surf forecasting

    Magic seaweed is a great surf forecast app.
    It provides a good daily surf report for my local break in Western Australia, and the long range forecast is great for planning trips down the coast or overseas travel.
    Any account issues are always fixed quickly with the minimum of fuss. 5/5.
  • Great surf predictions

    Great predictions, accurate and generally great use of the long term forecast. I also love the long forecast it is very helful. I absolutely love the 14 day forecast so you can map where your gonna surf and what boards to bring. And also how accurate it it. It’s so much better than all the other apps Surfline etc

  • Changes

    I do rely heavily on Magic Seaweed and the information is largely accurate (but good local knowledge is necessary to interpret what is on the screen) and the historical information is really good when planning a getaway which came in really useful going to New Zealand last November. The only complaint I have is changing of the navigation of the site, I don’t think it is as rapid to negotiate round as the previous version. Apart from that it is great.

  • Quality App

    I used to use Surfline religiously when I lived in America for the cameras and my assumption of reliability, however since moving to Central America I found that Magic Seaweed is much more accurate and I found my self using it more. This is the first app review I’ve ever wrote, but I thought it deserved it due to my satisfaction and hope for sharing my experience with others

  • To surf or not to surf that is the question

    Useful location specific info.. including water temp. Wish it was an app that had with it live stream I also look at from separate source.
