As the official forecaster for the World Surf League Samsung Galaxy Championship Tour, Surfline will provide an unrivalled set of tools to help UK surfers know before they go, including a team of expert forecasters, proprietary wave modelling and forecasting technology and over 35 years of experience.

Of course, I’ll still be the man on the ground to provide a human touch to forecasts and the all important eyeball report!

I’ve been reporting on surf conditions in the UK since 1987, when local surfers would call in for a verbal update on conditions. Eyeball actually followed Surfline’s 976-SURF pay-per-call model, before shifting online with the dawn of the internet.
