This Morning’s Surfline Report Scramble

by The Editors on June 27, 2026

You have to love Surfline. We don’t mess with it much because, why, but when we do we’re continually amazed that surfers actually pay $120 a year for this kind of data.

The June 27, 2026 report for our spot is as follows: the Surfline app says 1-3 feet, the Surfline website says 3-4, and the Dawn Patrol app for Apple Watch (which is reportedly “powered by Surfline”) claims 4-6 feet all for the same secret SoCal beach break. If you look closely at the info you’ll see that the tides are correct. The swell direction is dead-on, yet the wave heights are all over the place. What gives?

Maybe our friends at Surfline and/or Dawn Patrol can explain this to us. If they do, we’ll let you know.
