Surfline app review
Surfline
Price: FREE
Surfline by Surfline/Wavetrak is a must-have app for all surfers, providing five-day surf reports and updates for thousands of surf hotspots all around the world. Furthermore, Surfline has live surf cams in over 90 different locations across the US including Hawaii.
Worldwide surf reports include details of surf height, wind speed and direction, weather, tides, sunset and sunrise times, and more.
LOLA tools provide a three-day overview, surf height graphs, wind graphs, and regional buoys.
Surfline Premium users will benefit from forecasts up to five days in advance, as well as having full access to the HD live streaming Surfline surf cams. Standard users will have access to a two-day forecast in addition to a still image from the surf cams that update every 10 minutes or so.
Surfline was updated to version 5.0 in late-November of 2012. The current version has a total of 48 customer ratings with an average rating of 2.5 out of five stars.
The latest update greatly improved app stability, in addition to a graphical overhaul.
I couldn’t surf competently if my life depended on it; however, this is a great weather app that provides accurate forecasts for all water sports activities. The surf cams dotted around the US really add a nice touch, and frequent surfers would definitely benefit from upgrading to Premium user status.
For: iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad with iOS 5.0 or later.
