It's a new feature so we're just testing it but it'll soon be open to anyone. In the meantime anyone who wants to be part of the trial drop us an email.

Perhaps we need to say it more clearly but I certainly have every time we've written about the rating that it's a rating for the swell not the beach. We do now take swell direction into account but the specifics for each spot are just too precise to be 100% authoritative and we wouldn't pretend it was. You can imagine running a service for only one spot the complications, my local break can double in size for just an hour on a small longer period swell on a pushing mid tide. Likewise even swell direction is a gross simplification for the actual state of the sea which has multiple waves and swells running across a spread of directions. Where a straight west swell might not work a wide bandwidth west might. All these factors across 1000+ spots and the rating is really designed as a guide to the better swells, if you can see that something interesting is on the way you can use your local knowledge to pick the spot and time and drill down into the site here and we have a huge range of tools to help you do that. In the same way that some people using the site are only interested in the forecast at this level there are others content to stick with height, period and direction, less still drilling down into the full spectral breakdown. Our aim has to be to provide some kind of service at whatever level you want your information, but personally the most rewarding bit is delivering products designed for those surfers who are really at the core of the sport whether in ability of at least in passion for getting to the right place at the right time. We're already running a new 16 day long range tool in test mode and I hope the spin of from this is the kind of forecast that might not reach the masses but works for anyone clued up enough to dig deeper...

video is here if there's an doubts http://magicseaweed.com/Relentless-Powers-Of-Three-Content/1579/ Great photo thanks for sharing it...

Mate we'd be stoked to run bodyboard shots of a wave like this so anyone wanting coverage just give us a shout...

Thanks for all the feedback - a full blown app is on it's way and we'll deal with your login, favourites etc in that...

Thanks for that - it uses some trickery to make the web page look and work like an iPhone application so I didn't really expect it to work but without owning a truck load of phones it's hard to tell... I'll look into the work involved in making a version that'll be better for the Nokia too in the future.

	Hi Ben, Is the vacancy for an MSW content editor / manager still open? I would like to submit an application but wondered if it was perhaps too late? Thanks Tom
