Surf Journal

The Surf Journal makes it easy to keep track of your time in the ocean: where you surf, when you surf, and who you surf with. With the Surf Journal, you can keep track of observed and measured conditions, attach photos to surf sessions, record comments, and more. But this app is not just a journal. Get access to current conditions from over 1,300 buoys and 3,000 tide stations. Don't worry if there isn't a buoy in your area, the app will grab data from the NWW3 wave model for any location on the globe. No monthly subscriptions, just data.

Most surf-related apps and websites rely on a preset database of places to surf. The Surf Journal allows you to take charge by letting you add your surf spots to a global map and name them whatever you want. But don't worry, the data you enter in your journal never leaves your device. We take your privacy and your stoke seriously so your secret spot can stay exactly that.

Over time when the data you enter in your journal is tied to the buoy and tide data, the app will help you figure out what conditions work best for you and where. Want to know which of your surf breaks produce the cleanest waves with a 4' swell from the NNW? No problem. The Surf Journal lets you filter your logged sessions by your rating and by swell direction so you can immediately see where you have the best chance of finding those reeling, glassy waves. Become the local expert in your surf community.

The Surf Journal is free to try out with the only limitation being the number of sessions that you can enter (the limit is 10). When you reach this limit you'll be prompted with the option to buy the full version via an in-app purchase.

The Surf Journal will work with any iPhone/iPod touch running i0S 5.0 or later and features a native iPad version as well.
