Oakley’s Surf Report

The Scope

Oakley and Surfline teamed up with the desire to create a killer iPhone application: Surf Report. It has a single purpose: to help you find the best waves.

  • Oakley the company famous for its sunglasses, and global sponsor of surfing
  • Surfline the international leader in surf and weather conditions data

The iPhone App


Working with the designers and engineers at Oakley’s and Surfline’s internal Web teams, Mocra built the stunningly elegant Surf Report iPhone app. It provides users with live surf and weather information for any of thousands of beaches around the world.

Thanks to the iPhone’s GPS, you can find and research all your local beaches. Even whilst you’re in the car, with your surf board on the roof.

The application includes several interesting technologies and solutions. It integrates multiple web services from both Surfline (surf and weather) and Oakley (community news). It implements a unique theme by Mark Jardine from Oakley for many of the standard iPhone SDK elements. It uses the iPhone’s GPS to find local surf beaches and touch interactions to give it a native iPhone feel.

Is Everyone Happy?

We are in love with the app. The clients - Oakley and Surfline - are in love with this app. Most importantly thousands of people download Surf Report each day from the AppStore and are loving it.
