Description

Global Surf Industries and Swellinfo.com have teamed up to bring you - Swell Info, the complete surf report and surf forecast tool for your iPhone.

Swell Info has full seven day detailed surf forecasts, current weather, tides, and buoy data all in a sleek, super easy to use interface. This is an app you will use for today's surf session, and planning your surfing week.

Swell Info currently offers forecasts for the entire US (including Hawaii), Mexico, Central America, and Puerto Rico. New locations will be added in time.

Launching Swell Info brings you to the main forecast screen providing a summary forecast for the morning and afternoon for each of the 7 days, conveniently color coded using green (clean), blue (fair), and red (choppy). You can swipe back and forth between your 5 favorite locations, and when you want the details, you can click on each day to get the detailed text surf forecast, tides, and hourly wind and swell data. The Swell Info app, also includes current wind, weather, tides, and buoy data, updated hourly at the top of each main forecast screen. This is the crucial information that notifies you on what the surfing conditions are right now - what the tide is doing, whether the sea breeze has kicked in, or if the new swell has started to show on the nearest buoy station.

Update time is set to East Coast :-( (3 stars)
Overall a decent App but it seems to be set to East Coast time. I live in CA and by 3pm I can longer see the current day. I would rather see the current day's info for a few more hours (to see if it's worth heading to the beach) than to see the most up-to-date info for the rest of the week at, say, 3:30pm when there are still a few more hours of daylight. I can wait for the up-to-date info for the rest of the week until after sundown. I

Poor selection of surf spots (1 star)
Poor selection of new England surf spots. This app is not like the web site.

Addictive! (5 stars)
I love Swell! It has a nice little color coded chart to let you know if the conditions are bad, fair or great for each day of the week. Beyond that, you can click on a day to see all the tide/swell details you need to know. Nobody can predict surf perfectly buut this app updates itself a lot and is as accurate, if not more so, that most other apps. I'm in northern Cal and most locations/areas are listed. I just hope they make it for iPa
