I just want to see a list of Favorites

Hit the Favorites tab for a more traditional homepage, a possible preference if you don't live near cams. Take a look here for more information. 

Live cam carousel

Your favorite spots (in the order you have configured) autoplay in a horizontal carousel. Where we don't have cams, we will show a satellite image of the spot.

To save mobile data, you can switch off autoplay in your Account Settings

If highlights are available at that spot, highlights will play first. Once highlights have played, the live stream will automatically begin playing.

You can also disable highlights in your Account Settings so live streams play immediately.

Forecast Calendar

Compare the forecast at your favorite spots with a 3x daily surf rating and height readout, as well as a faded grey line showing how surf height is trending through the day.

Hit View All to see compare forecasts for every spot in your favorites list. From the pop up window you can filter by sub-region.
