Global Surf Industries and Swellinfo.com have teamed up to bring surfers - Swell Info - the complete surf report and surf forecast tool for the iPhone.
Swell Info has full seven day detailed surf forecasts, current weather, tides and buoy data all in a sleek, super easy to use interface. This application can be used for planning surf sessions daily or a week ahead. Currently Swell Info offers forecasts for the entire USA (including Hawaii ), Mexico, Central America and Puerto Rico. New Locations will be added over time.
On launching Swell Info you will go to the main forecast screen providing a summary forecast for the morning and afternoon for each of the next 7 days. Conveniently color coded using Green (clean), Blue (fair) and Red (choppy). You can swipe back and forth between your 5 favorite locations. Hit the day to drill down to more detailed information for each day.
The Swell Info App also includes current wind, weather, tide and buoy data which is updated hourly. This helps to keep your finger on the pulse of what is happening.
Micah Sklut from Swellinfo.com said: "I am really proud of this application, as a surfer myself I wanted to put every piece of information into it that I know I need to make the decision on where to go to get the most out of a session".
When asked by he decided to partner with Global Surf Industries Micah said: "Earlier this year I met Mark Kelly from of Global Surf Industries, he mentioned that he really liked the www.swellinfo.com website and that it would be great if we could work together to make an iPhone application. So the next day I got an iPhone and that night we signed a deal to make it happen. GSI is a great company to deal with, their company mantra - Life is better when you surf! says it all."
"Every iPhone user knows that getting applications that are really functional and continually up to date is critical. Swellinfo.com has all the information at hand and getting them to package it up for the iPhone format was a great project. We have had users testing the product for a month or so. All the feedback was super positive. We are super stoked with the end product and look forward to the roll out around the world," said Mark Kelly from Global Surf Industries.
