How it works

Log a surf in under a minute

Surf Log is made for surfers, not generic workout tracking. Three steps, straight after you towel off.

1

Log the session

Pick the spot with the surf spot picker, set date, time and duration, choose the surfboard you rode, and rate the session.

2

Capture the conditions

Record wave size, wind, tide and ocean conditions plus notes, so you can later see exactly what made a good day good.

3

Review and improve

See your history by spot and board, track goals and habits, and understand your progress over time. Synced with iCloud.

Why Surf Log

A useful logbook, not more admin

Keep the details that make a session worth remembering

Log the spot, board, conditions, rating and notes while the surf is still fresh. Every entry follows the same structure, so your history stays useful.

  • Spot, date, time and duration
  • Wave, wind, tide and ocean conditions
  • Session rating and personal notes

Learn which boards work for you

Add the boards in your quiver, choose what you rode, and build a real board history. The next time conditions change, you have more than guesswork.

  • Keep your whole quiver in one place
  • Attach a board to every session
  • Look back at the sessions each board produced
