    The first day's tide data is on top of the timeline.

    Yea, but that's only half of the tide data normally shown, not all 4 daily cycles which is good info.

    You can also click on the tide links (click the low or high) at the top there, which will give you tide data for all for 7 days. And, there is a tide graph under the timeline, where you can hover over for the data.

    Agree that it's there but quick access to it is not. With this new interface, an ad takes up valuable real estate and we lose the daily tide info at a glance for today. Still not a fan of the new interface, I can't see what it's adding for me. Too many clicks required now.

    Thanks again for the feedback. I understand your comments.

    We never had the tide data over on the left hand side before, so you definitely didn't lose that part...

    FWIW, I have only recently registered, but have lurked for some time now. I always thought the strength of this site was the graphic display of info -- the bar graph itself as well as the little green man with the conditions icon next to him. I offer this as constructive criticism -- you should seriously consider reintroducing the LGM in some form. Like another poster said, it was the "brand" of Swellinfo and unique to this site. Personally, I think it's a mistake to remove him and only have the text boxes on the left side.

    With that said, thanks for working to improve the site. It's appreciated.

    I love it man. Like others, I was having trouble viewing it until I cleared my cache like you suggested. It's super clean, even quicker to glance at it and know the forecast than before. I do miss the green man icon. Also, is there somewhere that I can see what time the report was updated?

    Thanks for the feedback Joel... Working on putting the "time of forecast update", and some other tweaks.

    One cool thing to note, which isn't obvious, is if you click on one of the forecast days, you can scroll up and down through the days with the up and down arrows.

    I made it so that you don't have to click on the days... on page load, you can scroll through the forecast day details, just using the up and down arrows.
