Just ad hell can’t even watch the most recent beach cam clip without watching 2 ads and those are clips not even the live cam

Love this app!!

Love the pictures and onshore/off shore advice. So useful and great for a beginner like me that can’t understand all the jargon. So easy to follow and gives me all the info I need in simple language. Love it!

Travel the world thru waves

Surfline is an excellent peice of software. The ability to view and make decisions about choosing surf breaks is very helpful to make the best use of time.

The first app I open when I wake up

I love Surfline and have for years. I’m really enjoying all the new features. Keep up the great work!

Experience

Peace of mind to know the conditions before going out, especially when you have to travel to make it happen. Thank you Surfline for your dedication and expertise in making sure your giving us up to date information on our surf conditions year around!

Basic things don't work

Cannot remember my credentials... every few weeks it logs me out and ask me to log in to see my favorites. so frustrating.
tries to upsell me on even basic things like trying to change wind speed from knots to something more intuitive. for shame.

Great Stuff

Always checking Surfline. Keeps me sane when not in the water!

Canceled subscription too expensive

Cancel my subscription because it’s too expensive and now that it’s canceled, I can see just how money grubby Surfline is. You’re not able to see live. You’re not able to see certain cameras and when it does show you cam playback it is showing highlights into ads into highlights into ads. I am never gonna use this anymore. I mean, who would want to deal with that irrelevant of the information you’re getting

Best surf app

I live far from the ocean. So I use this app to check there is surf before I leave the house!

Wtf

Why is the water temp in Celsius . This is America

They do their best!

They do their best!

Cowabunga

Best surf report ever

Stopped my local live cam

The live cam near where I live is hosted locally for free on a cafe website. Yet Surfline has the audacity to now ask me to buy a subscription to check the surf through their app.

Complete joke. Waiting 10 seconds for an add about Surfline premium or whatever it was called was annoying enough but this is ridiculous.

I can plan my life around these reports!

Thank you Surfline for providing accurate reports, webcams, and forecasts - life is too short to show up on a flat day or miss out On a raging swell!

Swell

Great tools but forecast can be misleading

Great info

Easy to use.

Surflie Review

Accuracy is lacking. Over hype popular spots. Luckily has decent cams and basically no other options for consumers

Thank you for your Surf(v)ice! 🫡

Surf updates are MUCH APPRECIATED!

Beach days

I love the beach cams, I can tell from home if it’s a good or bad beach day and if there’s a swell. Also, I can see how many surfers are out ( crowded or not)

Best surf app

There’s nothing comparable, you can get multiple apps with more detail but nothing compiles knowledge as well as Surfline does. Easy and works
