A quick reliable guide!

This is app is a quick resource for current conditions on Kauai. You can easily find a beach that suits your interest, whether snorkeling, boogie boarding, or surfing. Knowing If lifeguards are available and knowing if the waters pose any risks is extremely helpful. I always recommend this app to all my guests.

Ocean report !

The Ocean report doesn’t update everyday. Without that you miss out on good snorkel days or drive 45 mins to find it blown out. I love the information provided. Just needs to be updated AT LEAST once a day.

Updates about every three days

Got this app to see the surf and weather conditions on all the beaches on the island but the app only updates every three days or so. For instance I’m writing this on the morning of April 16th and the reports are all as of 1:20 pm April 13th. How is that supposed to help me today?
Maybe there’s an in app purchase of a time machine that I missed! Otherwise the map of the island is helpful.
