Checking past surf reports

Postby caploon » Sat Sep 16, 2017 5:42 pm

Just wondering if anyone knows of a website or way to check past surf reports, more than just a few days. The reason that I'm wondering is that there were a few sessions I've had at certain spots that were pretty good and I'd like to see the swell size, winds, swell direction, and tide, that way I can forecast when they will be good again. Most of these days were several months ago during the late winter when the waves get good here in California. Thanks!

I use an app called glassy that you can log in your surfs (manually). I can then go back and check if I want the data you're after (rarely do but it's there). No idea where to search out old reports; start cataloging from today.

I use that little 'calendar' button for that on MagicSeaweed. Probably gives the same info as the Boman method.
