Surfline or Magicseaweed?

Postby 954worldexplorer » Wed Mar 25, 2015 2:44 pm

I use magic seaweed but it's not always accurate. Any opinions on which is better?

Never used surfline, only MSW.
Neither is gonna be exact science though. MSW is accurate in my opinion, but it doesn't mean you will never get a wrong forecast once in a while.

You also need to know each break. A 3ft swell can develop quite different on different beachs. So you have to use a bit of common sense about the place you wanna surf.

At the weekend at least, I listen from my bed - if I can hear the sound of lawnmowers, the surf is rubbish, and if I can't, it's going off.
You'll probably find me surfing, but if not, I'll probably be in the photography studio

I drive back and forth in front of the beach on my way to and from work so I know which board to take before I go. But once in a while I drive back home to change boards. It's less than 5 minutes round trip.
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.
