swellinfo.com = My new favorite surf forecaster
I’m still in recovery mode from a wretched cold and have now been out of the water for a week. A full seven days of no salt water can make a surfer girl go stir crazy, but the gusty winds have made the waves that much less appealing.
These past few days I’ve resorted to wave cams and surf reports to keep me going. While I love our local surf forecaster, Surf News Network, which provides daily reports for all islands and all four shores as well as a surf hotline that is updated three times a day, my friend Lillian brought a new site to my attention that I like to use when I’m looking for up-to-the-minute/hourly surf updates.
swellinfo.com is my new go-to surf forecaster simply because its reports take swell and wind into account and formulate an easy-to-read simulation of the surf conditions. I like how the site breaks down different shores by color (green being clean and red being no good) and wave height, and I’ve noticed that the site is updated frequently (at least every 4 hours) to provide visitors with the most accurate information.
While I still head to SNN for surf cams, I’m now a huge fan of Swell Info! Give it a try!
