If you have an iPhone and surf…you’ve probably been looking for a surfing forecast application.
Aside from nwBroweather of course, there’s not much out there. There’s one app called Greenroom which looks pretty good but it’s limited to SoCal and costs $2.99. A few other dudes are selling an app that displays a swell graphic from the navy that’s freely available on the net–and selling them for $3.99.
The only app worth a sht that i’ve seen is called Surf Report made by Oakley and Surfline. The interface is pretty intuitive and easily navigable. You can set up favorite spots from a pre determined list. Washington has Long Beach, Westport, and La Push–only.
The interface provides current weather, wave height, direction, period, water temp, wind speed, wind direction, and secondary swell info. There is a forecast link but i’ve never seen it work for any of the WA spots.
The idea is promising but i think this attempt falls short of being very useful. Im sure someone will come out with something that works well.
Good info, a good iphone surf report/forecast needs to be done. Not surprisingly surfline didn’t nail it. Anyway, thanks for adding me to blogroll, I did the same. Contact me if you want to exchange guest posts. Thanks.
LAME.
Yeah, that’s exactly what us NW surfers need. A bunch of Iphoners in the lineup. Don’t get me wrong – the iphone is cool, BUT I think we can do without this basically lame app.
Just move to Cali Bro w/ Ken & Barbie – if that’s the kind of “Broweather” you needs
Shit guys….really? Iphone apps…. come on.
Sam-O! yes…i was wondering where you’ve been.
Check this: they’re coming out with waterproof iPhones. Now we’ll be able to text each other in the lineup!
Like if you got a sic wave i could text you some props instead of saying it.
Technology is so cool!
Drex next time you catch a good wave can you txt me the GPS coordinates so I can paddle over and be in the right spot to catch a good wave too?
RILLYDOE!
MY THOUGHTS ALIGN WITH THE MIGHTY-O ON THIS ONE:
THE ONLY THING YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR
IF YOU HAVE A IPHONE
AND/OR ARE A NW SURFER
IS OCEAN SPRAY CRANBERRY AND A STRATE RAZR
AND PERHAPS DRAW A WARM BATH TO FACILITATE THE BLOODLETTING, BLUD.
AKA KILL YOURSELV
PEACE DOOKIE DEE OUT
