Obviously have to dive a little deeper/extrapolate a bit more and it's not just a stab and grab for immediate info but stormsurf.com is far and away the best IMO.So is there any viable alternative to Surfline for FORECASTS for swell direction, period and size?
EC Hurricane swell are the worst for this.The best is when Surfline starts predicting swell 17 days in advance so that everyone can clear their schedules and head to the same spots. Then, over the course of 17 days, the forecast gets smaller and smaller while the crowd preparing for it gets bigger and bigger. I love that.
Buoyweather had a detailed swell forecast page that would break down period, size and direction for all swells (meaning if multiple swells were in the water at once they had a chart that listed them). It was very helpful but they revamped the forecast tools and did away with the detailed swell chart. I then did away with my subscription for now what they offer you can get about anywhere.So is there any viable alternative to Surfline for FORECASTS for swell direction, period and size?
Check the link in post #23. 12 day forecast with the same or more information.MSW was good because it gave a basic 7 day forecast that was easy to read for free. Plus surfchecks all over the world. It seems like in the new tech world anything well designed and easy to use gets cancelled or ruined
Wish they gave direction on degrees vs S/SW/W etc. Beggars can’t be choosy thoughCheck the link in post #23. 12 day forecast with the same or more information.
For here it’s close enough. With time you can tell how the directions/time periods mix and play out. Also the bottom depending on the the river flow. Or lack there off.Wish they gave direction on degrees vs S/SW/W etc. Beggars can’t be choosy though
I am convinced that this is a marketing tool they use...particularly on the East Coast in the summer. How to keep those eyes and clicks? Promise and degrade, promise and degrade..The best is when Surfline starts predicting swell 17 days in advance so that everyone can clear their schedules and head to the same spots.

I noticed the same happened here for my part of UK. Great swell forecasts 10 days out then each day gets smaller and smaller until meh.I am convinced that this is a marketing tool they use...particularly on the East Coast in the summer.

I wish Surfline would eliminate its cameras and reporting for my town.There’s a spot I go to a lot that wasn’t on Surfline and MS was always good at reporting. So far seems to be less accurate now at Surfline.
Windy.com has everything you need. Learn how to use the tools located in the sidebar.So is there any viable alternative to Surfline for FORECASTS for swell direction, period and size?
Have you tried asking them nicely?I wish Surfline would eliminate its cameras and reporting for my town.
I've heard that they've had cams vandalized, some repeatedly, on both the East and West coasts so I doubt asking nicely works.Have you tried asking them nicely?
My understanding is that all marine forecasts are designed to overpredict at distant future time periods as a default safety thing.The best is when Surfline starts predicting swell 17 days in advance so that everyone can clear their schedules and head to the same spots.

I think this is why I liked Magic Seaweed. Very easy to read. I actually have to learn to read the other sites - basically too much info for my little brain. I can't speak to the accuracy of the forecasts since I don't keep tabs on that too much.Obviously have to dive a little deeper/extrapolate a bit more and it's not just a stab and grab for immediate info but stormsurf.com is far and away the best IMO.
