Kia ora Philip. Is there a surf/swell prediction on your site? I know you guys do enough already but its so accurate and informative and most surf sites are pathetic. Windy is reliable though. Thanks heaps and keep up the great work!

Kia ora Kev, the team at Ripple recently gave us these maps to use: https://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/maps-radars/marine/ripple Hope you find them helpful! We also have PredictWind on our site too (on the same page). We are working to improve this page in the new year too, thanks to the team at Ripple.
Cheers
Phil

Apologies Carla, something just as simple as a tag not being added when we posted. Thanks for letting us know, we’ve now fixed this.
