## What is SurfGoose?

Welcome to the new platform for the entire surf scene. Whether you’re a wavesurfer, windsurfer, kitesurfer or wingfoiler, SurfGoose is where you discover spots and centers, find the right conditions, track every session and share your best moments with surfers everywhere — all in one app.

Explore more than 1,000 spots and 1,900 surf centers, with videos, FAQs, reviews, the best season for each spot and linked surf centers with their activities and equipment. Compare spots and centers side by side and find the one that fits you.

Check the conditions your way: the SurfGoose forecast or any weather model you prefer, live weather stations, and live maps for wind, rain radar, pressure and ocean currents.

Track your sessions with the SurfGoose app for Apple Watch: live speed, distance, heart rate and your own goals, right on your wrist. Your sessions sync to your surf log automatically, where you can replay your route on the map and share it with the community.

SurfGoose works with Apple Health. With your permission, the Apple Watch app reads your heart rate and calories during a session and saves your session to Health as a workout, so it counts towards your rings like any other sport.

SurfGoose is also where surfers connect. Log your sessions and trips, share experiences — quick photos and clips from the water — write and read reviews, ask questions, join chats and squads, share your live location with friends when you choose to, and share your sessions and experiences to your Instagram story.

And when you don't want to keep checking the app, SurfGoose has you covered. Set alerts and widgets for your favorite spots and stay up to date with conditions directly from your phone.

Whether you're chasing waves, wind, flat water or the perfect wing session, SurfGoose helps you spend less time checking conditions and more time on the water.

SurfGoose was created by Michiel & Lode, two windsurfing friends from Belgium who have known each other since they were little kids. The idea for SurfGoose was born during a surf trip to Morocco, when they realized there had to be a better way to discover centers, spots and connect with other surfers.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.2 — 2026-10-24

• Garmin support: install the SurfGoose app on your Garmin watch from the Connect IQ Store, then pair it in You › Garmin with the 6-digit code on your watch. Your Garmin sessions land straight in your surf log, just like Apple Watch sessions.
• Smarter notification prompt: we ask right after setup, and "Not now" really means later — we'll only ask again when you open your chats. If notifications are off, the Chats tab shows a short reminder you can dismiss.

### 1.3.1 — 2026-10-16

• Home-screen widget: choose a live weather map around your spot (wind, rain or pressure) or your forecast, as a table or a chart of wind, waves, temperature or tide. Stack them to swipe between.
• Share a forecast or a moving weather map straight into a chat. Inside SurfGoose it stays live; share the forecast anywhere else as a clean image.
• Feed, chats and profiles now open instantly and stay up to date.
• A new Days view in the forecast: ten days at a glance — choose wind, waves, swell or period, and tap a day for its hours.
• Group chats can now have their own photo.
• Surf centers: switch between your center account and your personal account in the You tab.
• Speed has its own unit now (You › Units › Speed), separate from wind — tap a session's speed to change it.
• Tagged in a post? The notification now takes you straight to it, even when the post is private.
• New sessions are shared with the community by default.
• Faster, more reliable photo and video uploads.
• Cleaner forecast tables and more reliable notifications.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-10-09

The biggest update yet.

• Apple Watch — track sessions on your wrist: live speed, distance, heart rate and goals, synced to your log.
• Experiences — quick photos and clips. Tag your friends.
• Share to Instagram — any session or experience as a story or post.
• Live location — share where you are in a chat, from 15 minutes up to 8 hours.
• Better forecasts — the SurfGoose forecast (custom model), any other model you like, and live weather stations.
• Trips & recaps — group your sessions into a trip and post a recap.
• Over 1,000 spots and 1,900 centers, now also in the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia and Croatia.
• New widgets, and press-and-hold the map to suggest a missing spot or center.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-08

Detailed view — four live weather maps

Swipe between rain radar, wind, pressure and ocean currents, and drag the timeline to any hour in the next ten days.

• Wind you can watch — particles moving with the real wind field. Switch between average wind and gusts.
• Rain radar down to 4 km: see the shower coming, not just that rain is "likely".
• Pressure with isobars, highs and lows.
• Ocean currents — a real current field that stops at the coastline.
• The forecast table now splits wave height into swell and chop, and adds period and swell direction.

Dark mode — follow your phone, or pick light or dark yourself.

Community — notifications for likes and comments, and Best friends to share a session with a small circle instead of everyone.

Sessions — tap any stat to see the spots and countries behind it, plan a trip with one calendar, and add a photo straight from your camera.

Plus dozens of smaller fixes.
