This simple application is designed to allow you to quickly assess if you can go surfing on any particular day in the state of Queensland. Rather than a forecast, this app provides you with both the near-real time wave, wind and tide data in your location.
The 4-day synoptic charts have also now been added. Although the wave data is limited to only 14 locations, it is particularly useful as it details the swell height, period and direction.
The app also now includes a visual guide to whether the wind is offshore at any particular break. Very useful if you are travelling and not aware of local conditions. Even if the buoy is not situated directly in your location it will give you a useful guide. Get started by going to the location tab and clicking on your location in either the waves and wind sections to check if the conditions are ok to go surfing.
Note One: This app requires an internet connection!
Note Two: This app depends on functioning buoys off the coast of QLD, so there maybe times when you are unable to get the near-real time wave data.
Note Three: The near real-time wave data is courtesy of The QLD Department of Environment and Heritage Protection at http://www.ehp.qld.gov.au/coastal/monitoring/waves/index.php
