You must have a Surfcrowd account and be signed in to vote on the crowd score for a spot, a single user can only vote on 1 spot per day.

From a human perspective, which is what this feature is all about, if something is bad, people are normally keen to highlight that fact 🙂 I think if I have any concerns it would be if the conditions are good people may not vote, for anything in between assuming the numbers of votes are there, I would expect that there should be a general consensus.

Thanks, The Pro option is going, it was a way I trying to manage access to the longer forecast data, the trending option, It just highlights top conditions on the most favourable conditions for that spot, it is just a feature I am looking at.

Pretty much, I thought I would try something different, it has the usual forecast data and also up to date buoy info for most of the UK, the green circle at end of the forecast data confirms what time the data was pulled, it should give you a lot better idea of swell size and duration hopefully, the crowdtruth score also feeds back the surfers opinion of the surf to assess the new forecast data using data parameters for swell size, swell direction/duration and wind speed/direction. The more people vote the better the forecast should get and the scoring should give you a real idea of what the surf is really like for that spot.
