Surf Watch tracks your surf sessions and provides you with a full session replay, integration with Apple’s Health Kit, health statistics, wave analysis, board selection, condition analysis, and sharing. “Once you start using Surf Watch for your sessions, you will feel not want to surf without it. Surf Watch will always have a strong focus on providing surf forecasts to you in the most useful and elegant ways and has continued to do this with the most recent release of the pro-series complications, which take full advantage of the latest OS features. However, Surf Watch now offers an intensely comprehensive surf-session tracking update, with a best-in-class tracking algorithm, that allows you to replay your ENTIRE session.

I’m gonna echo the last review. This being the only surf app that provides complications on the Apple Watch it’s unfortunate this app doesn’t get much love from its developers. I just wish they would fix some of the little bugs. I actually paid for the Surface Pro upgrade just so I could store more than 2 surf spots. But for some reason no matter what spot I choose it always changes back to the first spot. (Also can you delete a spot?) (Is it trying to change to whatever spot is close by? Even though I chose location setting: when in use not always?)Then even if you choose imperial feet and miles you still see the tide in meters. If the developers can make these little fixes this app would be five stars.
Please update!

Been wanting an app like this for a long time! It’s not to say that improvements don’t need to be made, but any issues I’ve had were solved quickly and with great customer service. I hope they continue to fix little bugs and work to make the information as accurate as possible. There’s been a few times where the tides and winds have been way off which matters in the areas I surf and affected my plan. I wish the graphics were a little easier to read, I’m not always 100% sure what I’m looking at or if I’m lining things up at the right time. I would also love a surf rating to be added. It can be really helpful when learning a new spot to see a “fair”, “poor” or “good”. The watch integration has worked really well and I love that it counts my paddles! The customer service is what sold me and the lifetime price was a great deal!

I’ve been looking for a surf app that has the truly important metrics for surfers... Time of high or low and feet, and water temp so I know what suit to wear. This app often glitches out and lists the water temp as the air temp and occasionally shows the wrong temp. Looks like they haven’t updated it in 7 months, i really hope they fix some of the small issues because there’s no other surf apps that have a complication for ocean temp and I’d really like to have a reliable one !!!!

Neat but buggy. Needs fixing.

I live in a condo on the ocean. I’m more interested in snorkeling than surfing so I’m using the app backwards to watch for when it’s calm and glassy. The air temp and water temp info is busted. Set it to Celsius and the air temp shows Fahrenheit and the water temp shows Celsius. Set it to Fahrenheit and the water temp show correct but then the air temp is like 160 degrees. The multipliers are off or out of sync. The water temp complication on Apple Watch doesn’t change to Fahrenheit either. Such basic info and it’s sad it’s broken. It seems like the developer is in an updating mood with weekly updates which is why I decided to buy it anyways and support the development. Fix those basic issues and I’ll raise my rating.
