Review summary

Surf-Forecast is praised for its breadth of data and user-friendly, graphic-heavy interface that consolidates wind, swell, energy, tides, and maps across many breaks. It’s valued for reliability in planning and safety and for a more accessible experience than Surfline. However, reviewers note occasional prediction inaccuracies and mixed feelings about the pricing model, with some preferring the free site while others value the long-range data available through the paid option.

Pros

Extensive, comprehensive data across many surf spots (wind, swell, energy, tide, maps) with broad coverage.
Clear graphics and an easy-to-navigate UI; tide, sunrise/sunset, wind, and wave power readable in one screen.
Reliable for planning and safety; users rely on current and future conditions for decision-making.
Better accessibility and user experience compared to Surfline, with less intrusive audio.
Valuable long-term planning data (12-day forecast) and appealing for annual subscriptions.

Cons

Occasional inaccuracies and mispredictions in weather and spot data (e.g., spots pumping when flat, mislabeled offshore winds).
Pricing model can feel expensive or inconsistent, with some users noting the paid app vs. free website disparity.

2026-06-12	Me*****	While I am not a surfer… I AM an open water swimmer. This app lets me know what I am in store for on any given day. I have looked and compared it to others and I have found it to be the best!

2026-03-17	ne*****	I prefer this app over Surfline because it doesn’t override my audio like Surfline does. As someone with autism, I’m sensitive to apps that take control of sound without warning. This app respects that, which makes a big difference for accessibility. Overall, Surf Forecast does a much better job in terms of usability and accessibility

2025-10-03	Ca*****	Works good, sometimes wrong for the weather. But great for surfing condition predictions.

2025-06-17	Al*****	Forecast usually is fine but the app is often not updating and I still need to check the website where I can refresh the page. In the app no option to refresh and even when I logout and quit the app and then login back the data for today is still old. That’s very frustrating taking into consideration that I am paying for premium account

2025-04-27	Jo*****	It correctly predicts the height of waves at half a dozen spots in the bay area, but it will randomly suggest a spot is pumping (gold stars) when it’s literally so flat and mushy the wave is not catchable. Probably over indexing on wind and under indexing on tides and stuff. Its also alleging a cross breeze is an offshore on some breaks which are oriented wrong. Also annoying to have to drag a slider to inspect the ratings at different times instead of showing me everything at a glance like the other apps.
