Finally an app that doesn’t over inflate my hope for waves

As I write this candid review during the summer doldrums of flatness, I truly appreciate an app that doesn’t try to push false hope and unrealistic expectations of wave sliding for increased ad revenue. Thank you for helping me keep my East Coast expectations low and therefore actually enjoying myself in 1-2ft and “surfable” - catch you in the splish splash
