Swellnet have finally released their new website and its associated new tools that Ben has been talking about for a while - including 16 day forecasts. I do not think I will bother with the pro version as its more than I really need these days.

Anyone going to give it a go? If so I would be keen to hear how you get on with it and if you find it fairly accurate. The normal combination of tools that I use gives me about 4 to 5 days - which gets me through most weeks ok. I find SB is very very good for this part of the coast. These days the wind forecasts are so much better and SB seems to have these nailed.

That's not a PIMP is it Ted???????????????

Absolutely not !!!!!! If anything a pimp for SB - for the record I have no financial relationship with swellnet - in fact most people here would know that I pay out their surf reporter on a regular basis I just know that there was a bit of debate when coastalwatch launched their pay per view service and I was wondering if anyone was going to bother this time around. Realsurf has been raising money through crowd sourcing of late. I wonder if SB will ever go down this route. Lets hope not. In recent times we are starting to see some of the major players trying to monetize their e-businesses (at long last some would say) and so its of no real surprise to me that some of the surfing websites might attempt the same. I just wonder how ti will go for them. If it fails I imagine it will be the death of them as they will lose all the traffic and find it hard to sell advertising at reasonable rates.

Edit - plus I like new internet toys !

I will not get it
