KookinSurf is a surf logbook for Apple Watch and iPhone. Start a session with a turn of the crown, paddle out, and come back to a record of where you surfed, for how long, at what tide, on which board — and every wave you rode. ON THE WATCH • Start, lock and end a session with the Digital Crown — no fumbling with wet fingers • Heart rate and calories from the workout, GPS track of your session • The tide now and the next high or low, predicted offline — no signal needed at the break • Water temperature measured by the watch itself (Apple Watch Ultra, Series 10 or later) • Pick the board you're riding before you go in • "Still surfing?" — a tap on the wrist if you leave the water on a boat or in a car with the session still running • A tide complication for your watch face ON THE PHONE • Every session with its map, your waves, the tide through your session and a heart-rate chart • Waves found in your track: how many, how far, how fast. Tap one to replay it, choose how strict the count is, and strike out the ones that weren't waves • Tilt and turn the map to see the break the way you surfed it • Spots named automatically from more than 8,000 breaks worldwide; search Apple Maps for any other, or add your own • Your breaks on a world map or a globe, grouped by country, with how often and how long you surfed each • Trips: sessions grouped by where you travelled, each under a photograph of the place • Stats by year and month: sessions, time in the water, and a chart to see the seasons • Quiver: your boards with photos and sizes, and how many sessions each one has had • Share a session as a picture, ready for Instagram: your rides on the satellite map with the numbers FORECAST • Swell, wind, tide, sunrise and sunset, air and water temperature for the next seven days, anywhere on the map • Swell arrows across the map, so you can see what's arriving where • A home-screen widget with the day's tide, swell and wind at your spot; tap it for the full forecast YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • Sessions are Apple Health workouts. Boards, spot names and ratings live in your own iCloud. There is no KookinSurf account and no server of ours holding your history • Already tracked surfs with another app? Import them from Apple Health in Profile, read-only — we never change or delete another app's data. GPX and Garmin FIT files import too • Export everything to one JSON file — every session, track, heart rate, spot and board — and import it back on a new phone TIDES, OFFLINE Tides are worked out on your device: from a tide gauge where one stands near the break, and from a global ocean tide model everywhere else, so each break gets its own tide rather than one borrowed from a harbour far away. They work on a reef with no coverage and in airplane mode. The forecast needs a connection; everything else works without one. KookinSurf needs an Apple Watch to record sessions. Sessions from other apps, manual entries and imported files work on the iPhone alone. ## Version history (last 3 releases) ### 1.2 — 2026-10-05 • Trips: sessions grouped by trip and named for the place, each with a photo of where it was. Fold them away and jump to any year • "Still surfing?" on the Watch: a tap on the wrist if you ride a boat or a car with a session running • Watch tide bar points the way the tide is going; the next high or low stands out • Truer wave count: GPS glitches after a wipeout or a lost signal are no longer counted as rides • Session maps open turned, tilted and zoomed the way you left them; smoother 3D • The map of your spots can be a globe • Search Apple Maps for a break that isn't in the list • New share picture: the break's name on top, more room for your rides • Tide chart focused on your session; the Watch model on each session; boards travel with exports • Faster spots list, longer Watch battery, and fixes ### 1.1 — 2026-10-02 • Surf forecast on the map: swell, wind, tide, sun and water temperature for seven days • New medium widget with tide, swell and wind; tap it to open the forecast for your spot • Tides worked out for each break itself, not borrowed from a distant gauge • Waves on the map: tap a ride, replay it, pick how strict the detection is, strike out false ones • Wave count and total ridden length in the session list • Tilt and turn the session map; share pictures show just your rides • Water temperature from Apple Watch Ultra and Series 10 or later • Import Garmin FIT files • Cleaner tracks, a clearer session screen, and fixes ### 1.0 — 2026-09-23 No release notes. ## Apps similar to KookinSurf | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Contours: Ski Tour Snowboard](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/contours-ski-tour-snowboard/id1056914816) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Sports | | [Fitness y más](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fitness-y-mas/id1663552380) | — | Free | Sports | | [SKIPASS – Gudauri & Beyond](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/skipass-gudauri-and-beyond/id6698866856) | 4.9 (193) | Free | Sports | | [Skitude: The ski community](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/skitude-the-ski-community/id493933087) | 4.3 (29) | Free | Sports | | [Bàsquet Català](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/basquet-catala/id923504242) | — | Free | Sports | | [The Surfr.
