Lazy Surfer 4+

Great customer service/Great app more relevant information than other surf forecasting sites

I thought all the sessions I had logged over a number of months were lost when my phone died. Thankfully, when I reached out to Lazy Surfer, Nick, the maker of the app, personally responded and helped me retrieve my lost sessions and was extremely nice about it. This was the best customer service experience I have ever had with an app. Furthermore, the Lazy Surfer app is great and provides more specific and relevant information for the user because the information is personalized and takes into account what conditions you have enjoyed at a specific spot and integrates it with current and future forecasts. I highly recommend Lazy Surfer as it takes the old school surf log/recording wind and buoy data and makes it way more simple, intuitive, and powerful in an easy to use and simple interface on your phone.

Thanks so much for the great review Tall B 123! And it was no problem getting your sessions back - I know how much of a bummer that would've been to lose them. Hope Lazy Surfer continues to help you score good waves!!

Well executed and some great minds behind it all

This app gives you more as you put in more! I love the idea of using data from your favorite sessions to predict the best days to surf your favorite spots. It has made it a lot easier for me to decide where to go, especially during swells that are pumping at several locations at once. Keep in mind, forecasting is difficult and just an “estimate” so it may not always be perfect. This app has always given me the best predictions tho

Also, you can tell how much Nick has poured into this app. He listens to feedback, is very responsive when I have issues, and is overall very dedicated to helping the surf community with this. 11/10 for all of his hard word!

kook dodger! This means a ton to me, I really appreciate the kind words :)

More specific than surfline

Surfline gives you a general idea but a lot of the times the fair or poor or whatever forecast doesn’t reflect the quality of waves at your specific spot. Using this app I've been able to find days where surfline says poor and i know it will be good. Most people just look at surfline so it was relatively empty but the waves were perfect for what i like. This app tells you how good the waves are based on past experiences with that specific mix of conditions not based on a generalized local report with some minor spot specific considerations.
