This widget provides all of the information to decide whether it's a good day to go surfing based on 4 key factors (wave height, difference in wind/wave direction, wind speed and wave period) in a set of 4 balls (and the bigger the ball the better!). For a given location it will display the surf balls and associated information, such as sunrise/sunset and tide high/low height and times for the next 24 hours. There are also wind (green) and wave (blue) arrows which move around the edge of the display and scale to denote direction and strength. </p>
This is a significant update to include an additional view suggested by a couple of users - the forecast view - which provides the summary wind, wave and tide information for the next 3 timeslots (and you can use the up/down buttons to cycle through the next 24 slots). In the widget settings you can chose to show the data graphically (the Surf Balls and a bar for the tide height) or text.</p><p></p>
