Thank you for your Surf(v)ice! 🫡

Surf updates are MUCH APPRECIATED!

New Update

As usual, new updates means less functionality and more worthless content. Deleted all of my favorite spots. Did little more than change to metric. Of course, raised the subscription price for the privilege of using this garbage. Please stop making updates that just make your app worse... stick to cams and forecasts

Beach days

I love the beach cams, I can tell from home if it’s a good or bad beach day and if there’s a swell. Also, I can see how many surfers are out ( crowded or not)

Getting Better in N Japan

Been in Misawa for 15 years. Only this year was the repor for one of our breaks included. Thanks for a start. We now have at least a dozen breaks within a hour of Misawa on Surfline. I can rely on simple color codes instead of decoding winds, swell (size&direction), period, tide. At 4am my brain ain’t there yet, bro.

Terrible App

Corporate greed ruined this app. $10 was fine $15 is like Netflix. Too many tiers for premium. Constantly logged out saying I’m sharing an account. Developers can’t seem to understand that people have more than one device. Burnt surfers trying to do tech doesn’t work. Cancelled!

Ad opening cameras, ad switching cameras, ad watching the same camera, ads that won’t even load and are just a black screen causing me to not see the camera. So many ads bruh

Surfline gets better

Thank you for continuing to improve the Surfline app. The cameras really help provide real time conditions and camera rewind is a great function. I am using Dawn Patrol to connect with my Apple Watch. There’s still some bugs in this program connection. I’m sure this will get worked out over time. Thanks for continuing to improve the forecasting. See you in the water!

Don’t even got to head out to see the waves, saves time money gas. 10/10 app.

★☆☆☆☆ United States · v19.18.0 · 26 Jul 2026

Deceptive pricing

The app charges you $127 after trial. When it was supposed to charge $24. There no contact information for support. Do not use this app . It didn’t work the entire time during the free trial then magically started working after changing me which was worth it at $24 for the year but definitely not worth it for $127

— Not worth it on east coast

★★★★☆ Australia · v19.19.1 · 18 Aug 2026

Please fix the location scrolling

It use to be that when you scrolled it moved to the closest geographical location, now it jumps all over the place. There appears to be no logical reason why you would make this change. Otherwise good app for 77 a year

★★☆☆☆ United Kingdom · v19.9.0 · 17 May 2026

Descending in vibe coded trash.

Forecasts are as good as they can be but UI locks up while loading cams. Handy hint, turning off autoplay reduces some of this issue. It’s done this forever and also chews battery at a horrifying rate while doing anything. I suspect they are mining bitcoin. Don’t open this app if you have a low charge. Session review of waves is useless as app locks up completely after one play of one wave, or if you look at it funny. Force quit between each wave replay is needed. Sort out your main-thread issues and maybe try using the hardware video codecs.

Monatliche Abos missing!

Die App ist an sich super und man kriegt alle Infos die man braucht. Übersicht das okay nicht so geil die Magic See Weed aber was soll’s. Was überhaupt nicht geht, ist, dass man nur ein Jahres Abo abschließen kann und nicht mit monatlicher Zahlung auf die App zugreifen kann. So zahlt man als landlogged Surfer auch auf dem Trockenen. Schade.

lacks surf community interface

This app would really take it to the next level if it allowed user comments and photo uploads. For example , only users can indicate that a spot works only with Eastern Swell and south wind. Surfline should capitalize on this user data to make their predictions better. I road tripped the entire South African Coastline using this app to find good spots with less than 20% success rate. ChatGPT gives me better intel on surf spots than Surfline. Surfline, get with the program and do better

Absolutely amazing app, is so clutch for when I’m not sure about the wave when I’m getting ready to boogie board BUT the ads are quite irritating and can get in the way quite often. Just fix the ads and this is the best app I’ve ever seen

★★☆☆☆ Germany · v13.1.0 · 28 Jul 2024

Not worth paying

I tried the pay version. The forecast ist longer but the cameras are often offline, or many beaches are shown without the camera and you have to find the camera somewhere else anyway. I think the app has potential, but right now I wouldn’t pay for it.
