Steps

  1. Consider the traditional option of calling a telephone surf report. Many surf shops offer a free numbers with recorded reports of surf conditions. Pay services such as 976-SURF or 976-WAVE are also available. Unfortunately these traditional voice surf reports cost a few dollars, take a few minutes to check, and cannot be done discreetly in a meeting.
  2. Use a web browser enabled mobile phone to get a report on surf conditions. Cingular, Sprint, newer Verizon phones and other mobile phone users should use http://www.surfline.com/wml. Old Verizon phone and Nextel users should point their handset browsers to www.surfline.com/slwl. These sites are not viewable on a standard PC web browser.
  3. Choose your region. Options include Summary, East, West, Hawaii, and Far Away.
  4. Drill down through the menus to your local break. You can press continue by pressing back to view multiple breaks.
  5. Read the brief text description of surf conditions which should give you enough information to decide whether to go surfing or stay at home.
