Some stations publish their current reading and their history separately. When the first freezes but the second keeps filling, the app was reading the wrong one and the station vanished from the screen - while fresh data was sitting right there. It now takes the last point of the history, always shown with its real age. THE STAR SCALE GETS ALL FIVE STEPS BACK. Two internal ceilings divided the rating so that a session could only aim for 5, 3 or 2 stars: four stars was not rare, it was impossible. Worse, 81% of surfable hours could not exceed 2 stars, and at some spots it was 100% - the rating there was a constant. Verified across 20,000 hours and 14 spots. Along the way, a 13-second swell no longer scores below a 12-second one. The "too big" threshold fired on the upper bound of a deliberately wide estimate, and so fired too early. REAL WIND TRACE. A station whose history stopped long ago can no longer inject old measurements into today's chart. Fair winds and good waves! ### 5.4.0 — 2026-08-19 Surf ratings get stricter — and truer. The engine could score a storm 75/100. Three guards now apply: - Too much wind closes the session. The threshold depends on direction: offshore holds a wave up, onshore tears it apart. The same speed no longer counts the same regardless of where it comes from. - A flat sea scores nothing. Below 30 cm of swell there is nothing to surf. - Period is now PEAK period, the one surfers actually talk about, whenever that data exists. A long period means swell that has travelled; a short one means chop raised by local wind. Spots that showed four stars will show two, and some GO windows will disappear. That is the point: a rating that says yes to everything is worthless. The wind ACTUALLY MEASURED is drawn on the chart, beneath the forecast: speed and gust, exactly as the anemometer recorded them. The gap between what was announced and what blew reads at a glance — no need to take our word for it. That trace is now rebuilt from the history the stations publish themselves, in 30-minute steps: no more islands of isolated points. Where measurement is missing, the line breaks. A silence of several hours will never be filled with an invented line. Honesty: - Three indices (fishing, swimming, launching) announced "glassy, ideal" where no wave measurement existed at all. With no data the factor now disappears instead of inventing calm. Spots: - Andernos-les-Bains (Le Betey), Hourtin-Plage and Lacanau Ocean join the catalogue. - "Lacanau" becomes "Lacanau (offshore)": that tide reference point sits 29 km out to sea. Its tides are right; its wind is not the wind on the beach. - A spot you pinned yourself now takes the general weather of the nearest verified location, within 8 km. A pin dropped a few kilometres offshore was reading open-water wind, and could rank a sheltered bay ahead of an ocean beach. The weather strip now uses the colour spectrum of the wind ribbon above it, at full intensity. The app uses less network and less battery on every refresh. Fixes: - The live wind label no longer hides the curves. - When the forecast service hits its daily limit, the app says so — instead of sending you off to check your connection. Fair winds and good waves! ### 5.3.1 — 2026-08-14 A day with no slot now tells you WHY: "no window - max 8 knots". Two spots can be compared at a glance, without opening anything. Silence should never look like a breakdown. Apple Watch - the watch finally follows the same rules as the phone: - Real wind can no longer come from a station 30 km away. The radius is down to 15 km, matching the iPhone: a confirmation from somewhere else confirms nothing. And the wrist is exactly where it matters most, on the beach with no phone. - When a station does not publish its direction, the arrow no longer defaults to due north. It disappears, and the watch falls back to the phone's wind instead of inventing a heading. - Tide labels and the age of the reading now appear in your language. They had stayed in French everywhere else. On iPhone: - The figures in the weather ribbon stay readable over the brightest bands. - Smoother spot switching: the forecast calculation no longer holds up the display. Fair winds and good waves! ### 5.3.0 — 2026-08-11 Wind, rebuilt from the ground up: - No more averaging several models together. It smoothed out the coastline: an open-ocean spot could show less wind than a sheltered stretch of water 20 km inland. Tide It now uses the best-resolved model that covers your spot, and speed, gusts and direction all come from that same one - the onshore you are shown is the one that was actually forecast. - That choice was tested against 2,800 hours of genuinely measured wind at 17 coastal points. Fifteen other models and a custom weighting were tried, then dropped: none did better. - The forecast no longer depends on where the pin was dropped. Near a coast, moving it 2 km could change the forecast by 13 knots; the whole sector is now read at once. - The wind station no longer edits the forecast. It confirms the present moment, and only when it is close enough. A reading taken 40 km away tells you nothing about your spot. - The gust warning fired on 8 windy hours out of 10, wrongly half the time. Recalibrated, it now only fires when it really is gusty. Safety thresholds now keep a margin. - The percentage "Go" is gone: a precise but wrong number is worse than no number at all. Window ratings and the "wind is settling in" alert stay. New: - Tide It spots GO windows several days ahead and tells you. The day before, it comes back to say whether the window is holding, or falling apart. - Opening a notification takes you straight to the spot, and the window lights up on the curve. - A camera icon appears in observed wind when a webcam covers the area: over 120 coastal cameras. - The 7-day weather becomes colour ribbons, on the same palette as the wind curve: yellow means the same thing everywhere. - New wind stations, including one sitting on a kite spot and one at Cap Frehel. Fixes: - Map labels get their dot back, and the observed-wind propeller finally spins without stuttering. - Ribbons change day at midnight, and the station refreshes when you return to the app: no more hour-old wind. - Your favourites can no longer be wiped by a sync that started too early, backup tides are back offline, and days follow the port's own time zone. Still as precise, as honest, and as easy on your battery. Fair winds and good waves! ### 5.2.9 — 2026-08-06 Fixes: - Your favorites can no longer be wiped by an iCloud sync that started too early. - Offline fallback tides are back: no more empty screen when the network drops out. - Tide days now follow the port's time zone, not your phone's. - The alert bell actually asks for notification permission, and tells you if iOS turned it down. - Every reading shows its age: nothing is presented as current unless it is. - Bigger touch targets on the map, designed for wet hands. - Translations completed across all 12 languages: notifications, verdicts, Siri and VoiceOver. Still as precise, honest and battery-light as ever.
