SurfTap Overview
About
SurfTap is a free, native Apple Watch app for quick surf checks, tide context, and session tracking from your wrist.
Data Points
SurfTap provides you:
Data powered by StormGlass.io. We do our best to keep it accurate, but we can't make any guarantees it will be. Always trust your eyes and ears on the sand and in the water. SurfTap is not for navigation or safety-critical decisions.
How it Compares
There are some truly great surf apps out there. SurfTap isn't trying to compete with them — it's built for a different moment. For quick double-checks while you're standing on the shore or even in the water.
