So I remember surf forecasting in the early days when I would read the Seattle Times swell and tide report....years before Surfline. Before that, there was no swell report, it was...."hey, I have a few days off, time to go surf....gee I sure hope it is good!"
Now there is a local surfer who gets 3-5 sessions per week on the Oregon coast and he happens to be the son of my next door neighbor. He has developed a local surf forecast tool that predicts wave height for individual beaches on the Oregon coast and rates days in blue, green and red.
Be sure to check the forecast tool here: https://look.surf/
If you are an initial skeptic like I was, use the free version. After 4 sessions of spot on accuracy, I am upgrading to the cheap as hell paid version which forecasts out a few more days in the future.
Well done Look Surf!
