I bookmarked the Sea Isle City feed before a family trip and checked it from abroad each morning to judge the surf and crowding. It stays surprisingly steady on slow evenings, though the fixed view makes sudden weather changes harder to read than cable forecasts.

I wonder how quickly the surf changes here once the afternoon wind picks up.

I check this before the local weather reports, since forecasts can miss what is actually happening on the shore. The live surf and crowd view is often more convincing than a headline.
