MSW Surf Forecast 4+

True surf app stats

I’ve tried other surf apps and they’re all a little bit rubbish, either the Cam’s don’t work on all the sites you want to compare or their surf report is the same for 300 km radius. This one at least just gives you the specific weather conditions important to a surfer to know the places to be at.

The only fault I have ever found is the wind speed and direction can be off, but its only been a few times.

and the app asks for a review nearly every week which is getting annoying

Good for beginners

Gives good indication of how the wind and swell should be for good surfing at different breaks. Good idea with the star ratings. But… I am in Victoria, Australia. I have found that sometimes the data presented in MSW app does not reflect the actual data the the point nepean bouy is listing. The bouy data on Vic Ports website is better once you know the breaks and how they work. It is nice to have tides/forecast/swell height ect all packed into one app, just seems that the data doesn’t refresh often enough!
Also does not account swell direction, not making its way past peninsulas and heads ect, for example point Leo surf break often is listed as 2-3 stars when it is flat.

Developer Response ,

Hi! Thank you so much for calling out the issue with Point Leo. Local insight is always helpful when improving our global wave data. If you may please reach out to our Customer Service team, and ask for me by name, we would be incredibly interested in hearing more about this so we can take it to our Forecasting team. - Bel

Amazing app

This app is an amazing app if you are either getting into surfing or already started surfing, it shows you everything you need to know about the surf swell, the wind and everything else that you want to see as well as the extra few things like a camera to show you the current surf and that is why I have used this app so frequently because it is the best app on App Store for surfing
