BreakFinder: Surf Tracker
Waves, Tides, Wind & Forecast
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Track every wave automatically. BreakFinder turns your Apple Watch into a surf computer — wave count, speed, GPS map, heart rate and live surf forecasts.
BreakFinder turns your smartwatch into a complete surf-session tracker — and your phone into a surf log, forecast hub, and spot finder. Free for every surfer.
AUTOMATIC WAVE DETECTION
No buttons. No guessing. A research-validated sensor-fusion algorithm detects every wave you ride and logs wave count, top speed, distance, ride time, GPS track, and heart rate. Choose from three sensitivity modes — White Water, Green Wave, or Performance — to match your style.
WORKS ON THE WATCH YOU ALREADY OWN
Apple Watch, Garmin, Wear OS, and Amazfit/Zepp. BreakFinder is the only surf tracker that works across all four platforms — with HarmonyOS and Suunto coming soon. Watch face, complications, and tiles included.
YOUR FULL SURF LOG
Every session syncs automatically to your phone — mapped, rated, and ready to replay. Wave count, top speed, distance, hours in the water, and recent-form stats at a glance. Your complete surf history, all in one place.
AT A GLANCE — WIDGETS & COMPLICATIONS
Add the Surf Forecast and Last Session widgets to your iPhone Home and Lock Screen, plus Apple Watch complications for swell score, tide, and your live wave count — your surf data without opening the app.
TAKE-OFF SPOT COMPASS
Lost in the lineup? The Take-Off Spot compass points straight back to where you caught your best waves.
SURF FORECASTS FOR 9,200+ SPOTS
Swell, wind, and tides for 9,200+ breaks in 140+ countries. 16-day forecasts. Save your home breaks as favorites and check conditions before you paddle out.
DISCOVER BREAKS WORLDWIDE
Explore the spot map to find waves near you or plan your next surf trip. Every break on Earth, mapped.
OFFLINE & PRIVACY-FIRST
Works offline on the water. No tracking, no ad cookies. Encrypted in transit (HTTPS). GDPR/DSGVO compliant. Delete your account anytime from inside the app.
COMMUNITY & PROGRESSION
Rank up, hit streaks, complete weekly quests. Follow the community feed and plan trips with your surf crew. In-app notifications keep you on top of buddy invites, comments, and swell alerts.
PLATFORM-INDEPENDENT — YOUR SURF HISTORY IS YOURS, FOR LIFE
Switch watch, switch brand, switch country — your surf history stays with you. Whatever hardware you ride next year, every wave you've ever caught travels with you, across platforms and across borders. One account for your watch, this app, and breakfinder.surf — always in sync, no lock-in. Full session analysis and detailed spot guides on the web.
