    Like the new one - cleaner, larger graphic bar, less cluttered.

    I like the forecast landing page with google earth and the sort option.

    WOAAAH. That was a shock to the system.

    I was a little worried about the new format, but then I found my old friend the swell height guy under the report tab.

    Really slick.

    Really didn't like it at first, mostly because I'm so used to the old one and I've been using it for over a decade now. Just looked at it again a couple more times, now I'm used to it! It ain't so bad!

    Thanks for the feedback guys. Any major change like this takes a bit of getting used to.

    I'm getting used to it, I think I like it... hardest thing is not having the forecast right on your screen when you load the page on an iPhone... have to get used to scrolling... I liked the old style cause after a quick click I could see all I needed to see without scrolling etc

    Is there a way to switch that around somehow or have the forecast outlook of all week centered on the screen when the forecasts page is loaded?

    Otherwise I really like it! Much better viewing the overall website on my iPhone 10

    Ya, I understand, about having to scroll to see the forecast on mobile. Overall, the mobile viewing should be much easier to read, but this does come at the cost of scrolling. We'll be looking at everything now that the new layout is in real use and we receive feedback, and see if there are some positive adjustments that can be made. Thanks for your feedback.

    Aww....you have to "scroll"?? Oh my, what an effort....you need to swish with your finger.
    In days past, to check to surf, you needed to walk to the break, drive to the break, call someone at the beach, etc. And now, it is too much to let your digital finger swish a couple of times to scroll down?? Wow, how exhausting!!! The effort involved!!! You digit has to take two steps, perhaps one!!!
    lol

    Visually totally unappealing, the color of the graph is awful, everything was right there on the old one,hardly any scrolling, but hey I guess people feel they have to change things and we adapt.
