# GeekTool command for displaying surf conditions from Magic Seaweed (there's gotta be a better way to do this)
# created by: Dan Thareja

# To use: create new 'shell' geeklet and copy the following curl command into the 'command box'

curl -s 'http://magicseaweed.com/Encuentro-Surf-Report/478/' | awk -F 'msw-js-fcc' '{print $2}' | grep '6am' | awk -F '6am' '{print $3}' | sed 's/"secondary":[^}]*//' | sed 's/"tertiary":[^}]*//' | awk -F '"' '{print ""$29" "$10"ft @ "$32"s | "$86" "$93""}' | sed 's/://g' | sed 's/,//g';

# This will print today's 6am surf conditions in Encuentro
# formatted as: [swell.compassDirection] [swell.height] @ [swell.period]s | [wind.speed] [wind.direction]

# HOW TO ALTER TO YOUR LIKING:
# to change surf spot: change the number in the URL (http://.../478/) to the number of your beach
# to change time: change '6am' to 'noon' or '6pm'
# to change day: change '{print $3}' to another odd number (today = $3, tomorrow = $5, ...). Works until $17 i think..
# You can always chain these commands with a ; at the end if you want to display more than one set of conditions 

# SED print variables if you're interested
# $29 = swell compass direction
# $10 = height
# $32 = period
# $86 = wind.speed
# $93 = wind.direction
