So what am I paying for?

Good question!

It's true that there is plenty of good quality, free information out there... if you have the time. knowledge and patience to dig it up.

Even so, it's often hit miss.

Swells are frequently overestimated or underestimated, winds are wrong, and you get the feeling it's all generated by a machine. Either that or a very bored, or very interstate surf reporter...

Wouldn't you rather have:

• SA's most reliable and earliest surf reports delivered to your inbox EVERY day
• Two forecasts a week and rolling updates in between whenever the outlook changes
• Detailed forecasts covering the Mid and South Coast sent to your inbox, twice a week
• Rolling Yorkes weekend forecast
• Updates and notifications when sneaker swells arrive, or if "early tomorrow looks good"
• Specific information on where and when to go, on any given day or over coming days.
• Daily images and random shots of what's going on
• Questions and answers, like: "Is Yorkes looking good on Tuesday?", "Are there banks at (spot x)?", "what tide does (spot y) need?"
• A profile and a space where you can contribute your own images and words
• A unique and intimate social media platform - comment, like, share, and interact directly with surfsouthoz, friends, or cool strangers!

South Oz is where we live

We've been reporting. photographing and forecasting waves in SA for 23 years. We are one of the last independent, privately owned and operated surf report websites in Australia. The national operators do a pretty good job, but their focus will always be on Australia's Eastern seaboard because the market is ten times larger there. VIP exists to provide detailed, high quality information to a select group of South Australian surf fanatics. It's not for everyone, and that's kinda the point.

Once you sign up for surfsouthoz VIP, you become a member of a South Australian online surfing community that has access to information most people don't. Membership is capped at around 1000 and after that it reverts to the nightclub model - to get in, someone has to leave.

As a surfsouthoz VIP you don't have to go looking, or join the dots. You don't have to wonder if you're missing out, or wasting time and money planning a weekend when the surf will be rubbish.

You get real, timely information collated and written by actual South Australian humans.

Alright! Alright! You convinced me!
