Surfline sucks!

Has anyone found a website yet that is easier to read than Surfline?

Windy.app I have noticed is a little more user friendly. I set my preferences up to “fishing” initially when it really should have been set to “surfing” to get the data I wanted for Pacific City. I miss MSW though.

Thank you, I’ll check it out. It can’t be worse than Surfline.

My brothers back east have been trying https://www.surf-forecast.com/.  I can't vouch for this site; I've just begun to try it myself. 

If you're looking for more of a MSW layout, try changing your format. On the right hand side, change it from the chart to the graph. It then shows the surf, primary, secondary, wind, etc. pretty much how MSW did. 

There are windy.app and windy.com, I call them blue windy and red windy. Both will pull data from ECMWF and GFS and others. I usually compare GFS and ECMWF, if the result are similar, I will prepare for the worst result it gives me.

surf-forecast.com has been pretty good.  I like it.

I miss the pre-internet days when people had to actually show up at a spot to understand what the conditions were. 

Me too! Learned by showing up with my Radio shack weather radio and learning from the ocean and comparing it to the radio. Sit and watch with a group guys, figuring out things-somebody always had coffee or donuts- or after a hour or so say screw the waves and go have some breakfast and check late for some rideable waves.

How about the times we used our horses to drag our dug-out cedar log canoes to the beach and made fishing line from horse tail hairs and hooks from whale bones? No electricity, no gas combustion engines, just vibes and living in the moment. Those were the days!

+1 Well said. We do tend to get pretty wrapped up in our first world problems.

Breakfast is always a good option!

Reminds me of when Hail Ceasar was the greeting of the day and we used stolen Greek nets and tridents in the estuary pools of tyhrennia to catch dinner.

Even in these all-Internet-all-the-time days, I thought this was the only way to do it.  This isn't stone-age Luddite nonsense.  If you live on the coast, like some do, you learn by observation that a weather forecast or swell prediction is good for maybe 90-minutes, and Internet sites don't update that often.  Just saying.
