### 4/5 — Less info than on web

*2026-08-23*

Good forecast app- simple and effective overview. But its missing crucial spot info you only find on the website. So besides having the premium app i have to lookup every spot on my browser.

If you can fix that ill give it 5 stars

### 5/5 — Top forecast

*2026-05-28*

Love it !

### 5/5 — Accurate Forecasts

*2026-05-21, version 2.8.3*

Great app, with all the breaks with good accurate forecasts.

### 5/5 — Información completa

*2026-03-22, version 2.8.3*

Energía olas y todo

### 5/5 — Better than Surfline

*2026-03-17, version 2.8.3*

I prefer this app over Surfline because it doesn’t override my audio like Surfline does. As someone with autism, I’m sensitive to apps that take control of sound without warning. This app respects that, which makes a big difference for accessibility. Overall, Surf Forecast does a much better job in terms of usability and accessibility

### 5/5 — La mejor App para ver las olas

*2026-03-16, version 2.8.3*

Es la única app que te da la pontencia de ola

### 3/5 — No more swell and wind direction on the map

*2026-03-03*

One thing that I used to love about this app was to be able to zoom on a surf spot and see the arrows with the wind direction and swell direction on the exact spot. After the update these aren’t shown on the map anymore

**Developer response:** Hi t_f,

Apologies about that! They should be back now.

### 5/5 — Surf Forecast

Really good app, simple to use and gives lots of information.

### 4/5 — Surf forecast app Review

*2026-02-26, version 2.8.1*

Get it more or less right most of the time, except when they don’t. 
A good app so long as you aren’t taking day off work based on positive surf forecast. 
Still true.

### 5/5 — Great app

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2026-01-25, version 2.8.1*

### 5/5 — Super accurate

*2026-01-23, version 2.8.1*

### 5/5 — La Serena

*2026-01-17, version 2.7.1*

Muy amigable y certera la aplicación

### 5/5 — Recomendo Total

*2026-01-11*

Very good app

### 4/5 — Surf Forecast Locations and Accuracy

*2025-12-31, version 2.7.1*

Surf Forecast is pretty good and gives the general conditions. It could do with more locations to give information that is a bit more rich. I’d also say sometimes the waves get a lot bigger due to tides and currents and it pays to be really careful when basing a trip from the app information. It would be good if there were some features in there which showed this like “with currents up to 0.5m+” or something like that. It would really improve the app.

### 5/5 — Übersichtlich, günstig, aussagekräftig und relativ genau

*2025-12-27*

Nur zu empfehlen, bin froh die App gefunden und gekauft zu haben

### 1/5 — Sneaky and deceptive

*2026-05-25, version 2.8.3*

I canceled my subscription on apple settings like it tells you to do only to find out it was still taking money for a further 4 weeks!! and I had to log on online to cancel it! This is sneaky behavior. Daylight robbery

### 1/5 — Sort it out.

*2024-12-26, version 2.2.0*

Was promised 1.1m waves at Callala Beach but it was flat as a pancake. Drove around to Callala Bay Beach as well but no luck there either. Total waste of half my day.

### 1/5 — Try to connect and failed every time

*2024-09-30*

Try to connect and failed every time with that error message, “Cannot read property data of undefined”

**Developer response:** Hi $IENTO,We're really sorry about the outage. We worked hard to fix the issue and normal service should have resumed on Monday.Thanks for making us aware of the issue, and hope you enjoy using the app.

### 1/5 — Stopped working since iOS 18

*2024-09-29*

Does not show any forecasts anymore.

**Developer response:** Hi Freck2233, The issue happened whilst we were moving to a new, faster server. All forecasts should have resumed as normal on Monday. Thanks for using the app, and making us aware of the issue.

### 1/5 — Do not download this app!!!!!!!

*2024-08-17*

The weather, wind and surf prediction is ridiculous and far away from the real events. You could also ask a frog for his weather prediction and the accuracy would be the same.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. If you could drop us an email with which break you're having trouble with, we'll look into it asap. (help@surf-forecast.com)

### 1/5 — Hopeless  - the breaks aren’t geo located

*2024-06-20, version 1.9.1*

The tags for the breaks show up as floating out at sea or on the land

### 1/5 — Forecast

*2024-02-02, version 1.7.3*

I have no idea where these forecasting applications gets there data from, as the information it provides is 90% inaccurate. 

Liters of fuel and precious time is wasted when one arrives at the location only to find the predicted 6 foot waves are 2 foot, with a 5 km/h wind, when it’s more like a 25 km/h wind. The tides are more or less constant, but every forecast is totally inaccurate.

And then they charge monetary value for this inaccurate “service”.

Come on, chaps, get it right.

### 1/5 — Bait and switch

*2023-12-17, version 1.7.3*

Great surf data, nice format, but website is free, whereas app requires $$ to see next week.
What are they thunking??!!

### 2/5 — App worse than website

*2026-06-19, version 2.8.3*

Can only see 6 days of forecast on the app but 12 days on the website using the same account. Make 12 days available on the app please!

### 2/5 — Not refreshing

*2025-06-17, version 2.7.0*

Forecast usually is fine but the app is often not updating and I still need to check the website where I can refresh the page. In the app no option to refresh and even when I logout and quit the app and then login back the data for today is still old. That’s very frustrating taking into consideration that I am paying for premium account

### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-08-28, version 3.0.0*

Good app, easy to read for a newbie 
But please sto asking to change notification settings at every app opening, it’s becoming annoying and I’m going to delete it and stop my membership just because of it, really, please stop

### 5/5 — Simple

*2026-08-21*

Lecture simple et rapide. Le plus, les étoiles avec la notation.

### 5/5 — Super appli

*2026-08-18*

Les prévisions nous on toujours été Fidèle avec ma famille je surf depuis mes 5 ans et cette apli m aide vraiment à savoir quand je peut aller surfer

### 5/5 — Best layout.

*2026-08-18, version 3.0.0*

I pay for 2 surf forecasts account. Surf-forecast and Surfline. Surf-forecast is by far my favorite. It’s way cheaper, easier to read, laid out better and it seems to be more accurate. I primarily use it at home in the pacific north west but I am on a surf trip right now to indo and it’s been incredibly helpful and accurate.

### 5/5 — Très bien

*2026-08-11*

Super:
Assez fiable et détaillé, mais compréhensible pour les débutants🏄🏼‍♂️🤩

### 5/5 — Surfs up or isn’t

*2026-07-31, version 2.8.3*

I like this app, it’s clear and for the most part accurate.
I use it often and as we move into the colder seasons I will be using it more.

### 5/5 — Surf reports worth reading

*2026-07-29, version 2.8.3*

Best surf report app

### 5/5 — Great Report of Surf Conditions

*2026-07-08, version 2.8.3*

Surf-Cast is very helpful in previewing surf conditions in preparation for an outing. Very accurate.

### 5/5 — Most reliable app

*2026-06-12, version 2.8.3*

While I am not a surfer… I AM an open water swimmer. This app lets me know what I am in store for on any given day. I have looked and compared it to others and I have found it to be the best!

### 5/5 — SF Review

*2026-06-07, version 2.8.3*

I always check in SF in advance before heading out, app is not always spot on but is reliable and consistent. Has heaps of popular surfs spots on the map. I give it 5 stars.
