Do you know where to go to get waves in any condition in your immediate locale? Where you at the OP Pro riots? Is your fondest memory in surfing getting barreled? Have you sold your encyclopedia britannica collection so you can afford a surf trip? Have you read the Dogs of Winter?

Founders
Adam Wright | Forecasting Ninja
Adam has been a professional meteorologist and surf forecaster since 1999 and has worked for many of the popular surf sites including Transworld SURF, Surfline, Wavewatch, and FuelTV. Currently he is the Chief Forecasting Ninja responsible for letting us know when we should ditch the computers for either a quick session of epic trip. Adam focuses on providing easy-to-understand, and hopefully entertaining surf forecasts. While Adam specializes in mostly Pacific Ocean forecasts (Hawaii, Pacific NW, California, Mexico, Central America, and South America.) he does keep close tabs on global conditions and will occasionally produce forecasts for random locations worldwide.
You can read some of Adam’s various interviews and profiles here…
