I have a love hate relationship with webcams, they make life (to) easy, making marginal “not sure if it's worth it days” into, “I can see it’s on days”.
That's removed some magic of travelling to a beach in hope and not knowing if it's truly on until your get there. Often when disappointed you'll meet or make friends in the process, chatting with fellow chancers.
That said webcams save all of us some gas money, not to mention CO2 emissions. For the keen surfer with a young family who's short on time, well, I guess you need them most.
