MSW is gone - jsharlin - 05-15-2023
Magic SeaWeed has changed to Surfline . It’s a different surf forecast. It takes a bit to get used to.
They have a free version.
Do you like it?

Yes, it’s still there but apparently it will be gone after today 5/15.

"Back in 2017, magicseaweed joined with Surfline, to bring together the world's best surf forecasting websites.
For the past six years, the combined team have spent their time working on both MSW and Surfline – and this made sense, because we all share a passion for the ocean, forecasting and helping surfers find and surf more waves. This set up also meant our best ideas have been divided across two places. Over the next few months, we'll be saying goodbye to MSW, but bringing all the best features over to Surfline."

Not a fan of Surfline. Clumsy and hard to navigate. Not user friendly. I guess I will delete them both from my bookmarks. Plenty of other good forecast sites out there.

Surfline is useful for designated surf breaks (i.e., Matunuck, Point Judith, Narragansett Town Beach) and have a good network of surfcams (if you pay for the premium version).
Less useful for a more holistic sense of waves
I use Windy for wind forecasts and it has a wave forecast as well that is helpful.

Darn, I loved magic seaweed. The height and frequency data was perfect.
