Comments on Surfline: Surf Forecast & Cams for Android

★★★★☆ KC Krause · Aug 5, 2026
Been a loyal 30+ year paying member when it was Wave fax. The leader & nowadays only game in town of surf forecasting & wave cams. Covers 1,000s of spots globally. The main issue is the wave heights are so automated they are not accurate anymore.
★★★★★ Jaxon Holland · Sep 24, 2026
I used to always wonder how big the waves were at Flagler Beach because Google always gave me rough estimate but surf line gives me live videos of the waves, so now I never have to wonder how big the waves are or if I'm wasting my time going to the beach definitely five star not paid for btw🏄🤙
★★★★★ Alan Courtenay · Jun 11, 2026
I've been surfing for over 50 years and surf reports have gone from a very unreliable, hit-and-miss generalized report in the early days to this very accurate Surf line report at any surf location you can think of. The Surf line Surf Report is my daily wake-up go-to and has been for a long time now. I have favorites across NZ and Aus. Using Surf line has taught me how to read the surf conditions and what it means in relation to my local surf spots. I highly recommend this app. Surf forever 🏄‍♂️
★☆☆☆☆ Jimmy · Sep 29, 2026
The majority of the worlds and your users use the metric system jet you use feet and standard. Before a lot of the webcams were free now they are behind the paywall garbage
★☆☆☆☆ James Reynolds · Aug 14, 2026
The new UI update to the app is terrible. The layout makes it difficult to read the forecast as wind and swell are split up, and you have to drag across a time bar to view how it changes throughout the day. Please change it back!
★☆☆☆☆ Jimmy Holmgren · May 31, 2026
They are anti surfing!! Buying up the free webcam and making it part of their paid subscription also buying up competitive free options cope rat garbage 🗑️
★☆☆☆☆ Curtis · Jun 22, 2026
They turned most of my local free surf cams into a paid service, killed magic seaweed, and are now cracking down on password sharing in order to make more money. Surf line sucks for corporatizing the sport.
