Money grabbing
Been using this for years, and now all of a sudden gotta pay a subscription for it just like everything else, might as well get surfline
Very disappointing
I was temporarily blocked simply because I used the service too often. The chief captain even admits the block is meant to encourage users to subscribe to Surf Captain Pro. I understand the need for a paid subscription, but restricting loyal users’ access as a sales tactic feels unfair. A better approach would be to offer features that make people want to upgrade, not force them into it. Because of this, I don’t recommend this app.

Charging to view the forecast
This app was great in the beginning now you have to pay to view the forecast
Captain of the sea
Some much cleaner and easy to navigate than Surfline
Less user friendly than previous versions
Hey surf captain - why did you guys remove the hourly swell/wind toggle when panning over the swell graph? That was a huge selling point of your interface. Considering unsubscribing.
July 2025 Update don’t do it
Made my app unusable. Stay with the old version!
Missing iPad layout
First of all, this is an amazing app and I love it!
Can you please add support for iPad so it’s not just the iPhone app centered in a black screen?

Tried “FREE” trial for Pro Plus, billed me instantly
Like the title says. DONT TRY TO USE FREE TRIAL UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY $40 UP FRONT!!!
I liked the app until now…

The New MSW
Surf Captain is a fantastic and simple app that fills the shoes left by MSW. The team at Surf Captain really knows what they are doing and are more qualified to provide their service - simple and accurate surf forecasting - than any other team out there.
With this app there isn’t any funny business, over-hype, over-calling, weird color scales, or purposeful forecast tampering.
It’s simple call-it-as-it-is surf forecasting at a great price.

I use this app everyday !
Simple and to the point! I grew up calling surf shops for recorded surf reports. Kids these days don’t realize how spoiled they are with forecasting like this!
Accurate, great UI, worth it
Reliable forecasts and visually effective, responsive developers. Highly recommended!
Historical forecast data
Love the app. Would you guys be able to add historical forecast data? Would be nice for my notes to see what the condition reports were on past days I surfed.
Absolutely Dialed

Forecasting Made Easy
I use surf apps to assist in forecasting conditions prior to diving. I really liked MSW before it became Surfline, which I don’t find as user friendly. I’ve also been using Swell Info, but it was bought out and doesn’t work half the time anymore.
On the lookout for other apps, I found Surf Captain. I see this app as a combo between the old MSW and current Swell Info, a wish come true. Thank you Surf Captain!

Hands down best for east coast U.S.
After years of being disappointed by magic seaweed and then forced to the awful Surfline. Somehow I stumbled upon Surf Captain and never looked back.
The other companies seem to care less about the East coast but it seems Surf Capt. had it dialed in. Completely reliable, incredibly easy to use and my hands down favorite surf app.
I never second guess it, I don’t look elsewhere to confirm.
I plan my weekly surfing based off this app 100% of the time.
Love it!!!!

Didn’t sell out like MSW
Accurate, Reliable, simple.
Surf Captain has it down pat. Very easy to read. All the information you need. And no fuss. Run by great people too!! Cancelled all my other subscription and got this instead!
Better than the rest
So I have been a MSW fan for years , once Surfline took over , back to garbage it went.
With SL Forecast is always showing wrong as far as wave rideability , albeit this is great for the lineup of non locals who don’t know how to read the forecasts otherwise but still frustrating .
Found this gem through Reddit. Super accurate and easy to use .
Gladly be a customer for years to come .
Keep it up!
