About Lazy Surfer - Surf Forecast

Lazy Surfer is an app for surfers - log sessions at your spots and you'll get a surf report with a personalized forecast for all your spots.

Did a swell come through where the waves, wind and tide lined up just right? Make sure you remember those conditions by logging a session in Lazy Surfer.

Once you do, Lazy Surfer will alert you the next time those same conditions occur and furthermore, it'll allow you to see a 16-day report so that you can plan ahead.

Features include alerts for your favorite conditions, personalized predictions for how good the surf is going to be at all your favorite spots, and the ability to share session information with all your friends.

Lazy Surfer doesn't try to forecast nearshore conditions - if you've ever used the popular nearshore forecasting websites like Surfline and Magicseaweed you know that they are often very far off from the true conditions. Instead, Lazy Surfer uses real data from buoys to pinpoint the exact conditions that result in good waves at your favorite surf spots.

Like anything worthwhile, Lazy Surfer requires some effort on your part before it pays off. The more sessions you add the better information Lazy Surfer will give you. Try adding at least 5 sessions at different spots and in different conditions. We guarantee that you'll find Lazy Surfer to be an invaluable addition to your surf forecasting arsenal.

Lazy Surfer began as a tool to help its creator, Nick Peterson, learn the intricacies of his local San Diego surf breaks. Not content with fighting the crowd at the same old beach break for every swell, he built Lazy Surfer so that he could tease out the good sets of conditions at the more fickle, less popular spots along the coast. With alerts, forecasts and machine-learning powered predictions Lazy Surfer is the tool surfers need in order to score on the days when everyone else thinks it’s flat.

Nice app but could use an update. Useful without a subscription, but really too unrefined to be charging a subscription. The relationship between Sessions and Observations is vague. Sessions are ephemeral and there is no way to directly interact with them later: no way to see the start and end times with which they were created, no way to edit cohesively (for example add a Description later without editing each Observation), and no way to even directly access the associated Observations.
