Awesome!
I’ve been relying on Surfline to get me real time accurate reports for years now and they have always had the data I needed to know where and when to catch the best surf. The money I save in gas alone is worth the price of membership. With premium I can check all my favorite spots even if I can’t travel to surf there that day. It’s cool to see how the waves are around the world at any given time. Love the bonus content and news as well. Much aloha🤙

I find the app is always on target which is great
Doesn’t always work but does its job
Great site !! I’ve watched it mature over the years & it’s impressive to see what it’s become !! Great job !!
Always check Sirfline before hitting the waves
This app is sooo great I used to use chat gpt to give me wave reports but this is sooo much better
So good!
Great app, checked for Rye beach NH, perfect read.
Thank ❤️
I don’t really live near the ocean, I enjoy hitting the waves and have always taken a look at nearby water when I’m close with this. It’s very accurate and free to see the forecast for the days coming and the current day. It’s very helpful and I’m stoked to use it
Love the new features since it merged with MSW, particularly the way the videos on the beaches are an easy swipe to get a different perspective and that the video automatically expand when you tilt to landscape.
The app charges you $127 after trial. When it was supposed to charge $24. There no contact information for support. Do not use this app . It didn’t work the entire time during the free trial then magically started working after changing me which was worth it at $24 for the year but definitely not worth it for $127

Pretty easy to work with
Danke für die tolle App, sehr hilfreich um die Tage zu planen :-)
Love the app and all Surfline does from videos, articles, etc. Essential for anyone who surfs
Pretty good
Lovely
You now have to pay to use the useful features, this was free a couple years ago with magic seaweed.
The best app with the most specific info on the market by far. I use it every time I go out. Has the best information. This app has become a mandatory part of my prep to surf.
