    Right there with you, HH. One local pro in particular is the focal point of my ire. He's got a better job, hotter wife, and does everything I do, but better. He surfs better than me. He gets all his gear for free. He lives near me, and his house looks better than mine on Halloween and Christmas. Everywhere I travel to he's been there twice. Everywhere I want to travel to but haven't... he's been there 3 times. I shoot a 34" striper, he shoots a 35" striper.

    You know... these local pros... they do it to themselves. They're so easy to hate!

    Is it just me; or does this website need to be disregarded when concerning surf prediction, if you value your ability to accurately predict the surf, so that you can know the surf forecast?

    Don't you think that the surf forecast should be accurate than?

    on another forum you'd see them bash SurfCaptain here and there for their forecasts. I don't have the SI app any more, but sometimes i use their forecast as an additional source that a swell is coming. It's not purrfect, but it's another means of convincing

    SurfCaptain has been pretty good for me. Not perfect but I don't think anyone has mastered the art of surf/weather forecasting with 100% accuracy. They just added maps to SC as well. I'll also say that while the 16 day forecast is kind of a joke I have seen some bumps on there that came to fruition. I won't plan my whole life around their forecast, but I would cancel a weekend trip to the in-laws based on it.

    SwellInfo is no longer a surf forecasting site.

    It is known.

    I've been using Magic Surf Weed
    I don't really need a surf forecasting resource
    I just predict the surf
    just like the pioneers did
    before Laird Hamilton went full coo coo
    and started talking about surfing as a spoken ballet
    Cringe athletes will always scare the surf away

    Thank you; and it's an honor to be considered:
    A West Ocean City Surf Creature:
    I would like to thank all the people who have been there for me and supplied my drugs.
    And to all the people I burned because I don't have time to yield right of way.
    This is a cheers to my new favorite surf trips!
    Ones that involve hookers and blow and some surfing.
    Rather than the Hawaiian classic.

    This is to all the times in the line up I needed to smoke but couldn't because nobody invented water proof joints.
    To all the times I blew off work to go surf waves that blew me off.
    And here is to all the ex GFs I made sit on the beach for 10 hours a day taking video of me, (that is never the right angle because she is stupid and lazy) so I can look cool on the internet!

    And remember! Just because there is surf tomorrow. Doesn't mean you can't get drunk tonight.
