Sorry guys - we've been fighting some database gremlins for the last few hours and are not sure when the surf report and forecasts will be back online. Hopefully ASAP! Thanks for your patience.

Actually, future posts like this will be worded along the lines of:

"The Swellnet database has been damaged or has gone adrift. A replacement database will be deployed as soon as possible." (hat tip MHL)

Sounds way sexier than website gremlins, I reckon.

OK, we've done some tweaking - fingers crossed the next model run will correct things - it's due around 5:25pm.

I think we've identified the problem - should be back online very soon. Thanks for your patience everyone.
