A few little tweaks. I hope you enjoy, but do ping me with any gripes. I'm all ears.

Made some UI tweaks to clarify what swell is impacting the surf most. The UI also now indicates when a surf quality factor (like tide or wind) is less impactful at a given surf spot.

I added a widget. Try it out. Let me know what you think.

Not much has changed on an iPhone, but on an iPad or Mac you'll see a big difference. Now your search results live in the sidebar, so you can view them next to the forecast details. This is pretty helpful when you're trying to decide between surf spots. As always, ping me with any feedback. -- Jack

Long overdue... I'm adding swell details. There's often than one swell in the water and the current UI doesn't account for that very well. This update gives you the tools to look at each swell independently; which can be helpful when there's a combo swell, or a long period swell hiding beneath a bunch of local wind swell. As always, ping me with any feedback.

Hey! I merged Lists and Saves since this was pretty redundant functionality. Hopefully I didn't botch your Lists in the process, but if I did, sorry about that. These breaking changes should be a one time thing. Other than that I moved the filters right into the forecasts UI. Having these under a modal felt like way too many taps. By the way, it's sort of a secret feature, but if you never noticed, you can tap the days of the week to filter by day. You can even long press to filter multiple days. Something to try out if you haven't. I hope you enjoy the updates. Feel free to reach out with any feedback. Best, Jack

Well... it's my birthday, which seems like a good enough to reason to ship a new version. I've been noodling on this for a while. It doesn't actually achieve what I initially set out to do, but it lays the groundwork for some interesting future stuff. The UI looks a little different, but the big change is slash commands. Slash commands allow you to build these more complex queries; so you can find good surf more easily. For example, I often use "/highlight" to show me only spots that match my highlight settings near me. But, say I'm going for a trip to Big Sur in a few days, but I still want to know how the waves are in Santa Cruz I will search for "Santa Cruz /or Big Sur" to scope the results to just those two places. I think you'll find slash commands pretty handy. One quick apology, this build resets your saved settings. Sorry about that. It's a one time thing. I needed to do this in order to lay the groundwork for what comes next. Stay tuned...

I'm introducing a subscription. In order to run this app, each month I pay for a bunch of infrastructure; servers, etc. To ensure that I can continue to provide this service well into the future I need to be able to recoup some of those costs. So starting with this version I'm asking high usage users to pay a small monthly fee. Spitcast will still be free for up to 5 days per month. But if you value the service enough that you use it more than that, please subscribe. It's only $0.49 per month; the cheapest monthly subscription rate Apple allows. I appreciate your support.

Most notable update is the new regional summaries. Use these to get a glance at a group of surf spots without needing to study each forecast. I personally use these to keep tabs on the regions that are a day-trip away. Should I stick to my local breaks or hit the road? The other big feature is spot hiding. In the past you could use the main interface to see what's going on at every break, or the bookmark button to just see your saved surf spots. Now if there's some surf spot that you just never surf and don't care to know anything about you can just hide it from the main interface. Keep digging around in the app and you'll find lots of other tweaks for iOS 14.

Lots of little tweaks but the biggest improvement is to bookmark filtering. Now we can get to your bookmarked surf spots with just one tap.

Bug fixes and performance improvements.

Dark mode! iPads now have regional forecasts!

Easier to consume swell forecasts!

New navigation. Everything you need is in the "hamburger" menu.

The app is faster! Less time on loading spinners! Other than that it's the same old app.

Minor bug fixes.

If you're always looking up the same surf spot, it's now a lot fewer taps away. Recent search results are now displayed when you load the search screen. Cheers!

Improved iPad support! And more filters!

Quickly see forecasts in another region. Live in Santa Barbara but surf in Ventura? Go into filters and choose "Near Ventura".
