Now surfers and beach goers will discover beach conditions with some taps in the Whole City App. Beach and surf conditions offered by Surfline are fed in the app daily at 7:05am. Additional features and procedures will periodically be added in.
Every month, the city will feature a special tab to focus on a meeting or service that is certainly unique compared to that month.
