Oakley and Surfline Release iPhone App for Surfers

Oakley and Surfline

Oakley and Surfline today launched a co-branded application that provides access to surf reports worldwide. This free app [iTunes Link] provides updated information on surf and weather conditions, as well as information on the surf community and culture including news, photos and videos.


You can bookmark your favorite beaches or find locations by city, state, zip code, name or region. Additional information includes surf conditions, weather, safety notices and reports. General weather forecasts are available, along with projected surf conditions for the following three days. Directions to beaches are available via convenient map links. A separate screen offers news and information on surfing events, videos optimized for the iPhone from Surfline, as well as imagery on the sport and biographies of Oakley team riders.


Overall, it’s a pretty good application. One thing I’d like to see in the future update is the ability to watch live cams. The website already does that and I don’t see why they wouldn’t bring this neat feature to the iPhone as well.
