Surf Tracking: Gone Surfing
Wave Tracker for your Watch
Free · In‑App Purchases
Track every session. Catch more waves. Improve faster.
Most surf trackers tell you what happened after you get out. Gone Surfing helps you while you are still in the water.
The ocean is a constantly changing playing field. So we give you one more reference in the lineup, based on your own take-offs. Catch a wave and the arrow points you back to where you caught it. Paddle back to the right spot, and you catch more waves.
What you can do with Gone Surfing:
1. Waves you can trust
A wave has to clear a speed, distance, duration, and GPS quality check before it counts, so paddling and drifting never show up as rides. Every wave is saved with its own route, so you can check the count against the map yourself.
2. See your surf as it happens
Wave count, speed, heart rate, paddle distance, and calories, live on your Apple Watch.
3. Relive every wave
Open the session on your iPhone. Every wave sits on the map with its route, distance, and speed. See the lines you took and the paddling between them.
4. Know if you are improving
Waves per session. Waiting time between waves. Top speed, paddle distance, and surf fitness. Trends across every surf, not just the last one.
5. Get coached after every session
Your AI Surf Coach reads your real sessions and tells you what to work on next. It runs on device on supported iPhones. Other iPhones get session insights instead.
6. Check your surf at a glance
The Surf Dashboard widget keeps your last 30 days on your Home Screen.
7. Share the good ones
Turn any session into a card worth posting.
Sessions save to Apple Health as workouts and close your rings.
10 million waves tracked since 2024.
Free and Pro
Free records your surf: sessions, wave count, maps, and session cards. Pro adds the take-off arrow in the water, full trends and comparisons, paddle and surf fitness insight, and the AI Surf Coach.
Whether you chase better dawn patrols or want to know what drives your best sessions, Gone Surfing gives you the data to progress with confidence.
Your next breakthrough session starts here.

more I love seeing all the data regarding my surf sessions! Unfortunately when I use other surf tracking apps on my Apple Watch they don’t always track the waves I catch (app rhymes with Fawn Patrol) - I could’ve caught 15-20 waves in a session but that app only tracks less than 5.. even on the slow waves setting! Gone Surfing app has a nicely dialed sensitivity to track all my waves caught, and even inform me if I was in the takeoff zone! I enjoy the extra data provided as well, such as paddle strokes, distance paddled, and paddling vs. surfing ratio. Keep up the good work! I’ll be using the app from now on for all my surf sessions.
