Spitcast Surf Report

I’ve been experimenting with the various free and less expensive apps since I decided to simplify my recurring subscription charges to too many services. I really appreciate the fundamental data that’s reported on Spitcast, and though I have not sat down and charted a direct comparison between this and the National Weather Service’s and NOAA’s Northern California data and forecasts, this has seemed like an accurate amalgamation of what a surfer wants to know. Naturally there will be spots like Ocean Beach San Francisco where/ when it should be good, it’s too wonky because the night winds the night before ruined it, even if it’s light wind the next morning. But I think these are the variables we get to learn through experience. I mean, an app only needs to spoon feed so much. Also I appreciate the data for some specific spots that don’t get as much attention in this regard. On this app, I don’t feel like it’s ruining anything. The circles took me a second to figure out, but it’s pretty intuitively obvious that the app is focusing our attention on good surf conditions (vs, I guess, mediocre or bad ones). I plan on adding this high value, low cost app as a subscription in my new streamlined suite of similar high value, reasonably priced apps. Shakaz.
