GoofySurf

GoofySurf is a Discord Bot, built using the Discord.js library, that utlizies the Surfline API in order to pull accurate wave, wind, and tide data on surf spots around O’ahu.

Why?:

• To reduce the redudant checking and relaying of information from one surf app to however many friends you go surf with, by centralizing it all in one server, where they can all see the same message
• To make a project that is relevant to myself and the people around me, while developing my Javascript skills and using REST APIs.
