SSsshhhhhhhh! Be very very quiet.grazza wrote:I'm sure Don's a nice guy and all but does anyone here actually use Realsurf for anything other than the forum? From a surf reporting and forecasting point of view, Realsurf is IMHO at best quaint. Can't remember the last time I stopped at the front page for anything.

This site (like most others) also uses the GFS models as input. The best thing I've found about MSW is the historic swell and wind data. I'm not sure where they've got the information from (and hence it's accuracy), but if you're planning a surf trip somewhere in the world and want to know whens the best time of year to go for swell and wind conditions, then this historic data is your best friend for sure.barrel_nutter27 wrote:also no one has mentioned another site I look at a bit:

- Location: any of the heavy NSW reefs, depends where the swell hits. shark island/southern reefs mostly
