Each month of surfing now gets its own recap page in Your Log, and you can share it as a story or a post. • When the tide makes a spot dangerous, the map shows a warning sign next to its rating. • The map, Best Conditions, surf alerts, widgets and your Apple Watch now give the same rating as the spot page, tide included. • Your iPhone now counts the same waves as your watch, and you can rate a session right from its recap. • On iPad, the map fits narrow windows in Split View and Stage Manager, and keeps your spot open when the layout changes. • Favorites are now a pink heart, so a yellow star always means your personal AI prediction.

Your Apple Watch sessions now reach your iPhone the moment you finish, and the AI rating counts only the sessions you rated. APPLE WATCH • A session goes to your iPhone as soon as you end it. Rate it and pick your board on the watch afterwards, and your iPhone follows • When you start without choosing a spot, the watch waits for your exact position before it names the spot • A session left on pause for 5 minutes ends by itself and is saved • On a trip, the watch now asks for fresh conditions at the spots around you FIXES • A session you haven't rated no longer pulls down your AI Session Rating • The card at the bottom of the map no longer shows one spot's name over another spot's conditions • The AI rating header no longer wraps on smaller iPhones Plus small improvements throughout.

Ask Siri if it surfs today, and every spot now goes by its local name. ASK SIRI • "Hey Siri, does it surf today in Huntington Beach with SurfMap?" Siri answers with your rating and the best window, and a tap opens the spot • "Where can I surf this weekend with SurfMap?" The best spots near you, for your level • Ask SurfMap anything with Apple Intelligence: "Is tomorrow better than today at Huntington Beach?" or "What's the best day this week near me?" • Your spots and guides show up in Spotlight and in the Shortcuts app Siri questions need iOS 26.
