    The red color hurts my eyes... reminds me of the red ink my teachers used to torture me.
    I’m triggered now. Thanks.





    Other than that I’m happy.

    There has always been links on the weather icons, but you might have had no idea, because its not obvious. We've made this more obvious now, see screenshot below. Screen Shot 2018-08-14 at 5.31.49 PM.png

    The links will take you to the relevant info below.

    I have a couple questions.
    Why is ocean county Nj categorized as just Seaside Heights and not Island beach? There's miles of differences.
    Is this for tourism purposes?

    There are 2 forecast locations in ocean county, seaside and lbi. Forecasts aren’t intended for any one break, but for the generalized area.

    Thanks for the response. Really wasn't xpecting one.

    So why not call LBI "surf city";
    Ain't that where the money at?

    Sorry, interrupted.
    What I meant to say was... why not categorize Seaside Heights into, Island Beach ?
    Different directional sandbars.

    I don’t know if it’s my phone or the website but all of the icons to click on are just blank squares, it started either yesterday or today.

    I just restarted the browser and it seems fixed for the moment. If it returns I will report back.

    Should be okay, sounds like a browser cache issue. If that happens again, a browser hard refresh should do the trick.

    Can you bring back the forum preview while on the forecast page? I found it nice to link directly to the most recent threads.

    Hey everyone.

    We've combined the report and forecast views into one page. I believe it was unnecessarily complicated to have to go back and forth between the views.

    I hope you like the change.

    There is a new share forecast feature, where you can share on Facebook, Twitter, or download the forecast image. Just click on the share forecast link under the 7 day forecast.

    The maps have been smaller for desktop browsers. They were too big and made it a bit harder to navigate.

    possibly called Betty's Buoys
    that continuously updates
