Surfing Tracker App

Count your waves. Not just your hours.

Watersports Tracker is the only app that counts your waves, maps where you caught them, and tracks your speed — session after session.

“Reliable, powerful and easy to use”

iPhone + Apple Watch + Android

You remember the stoke. But not the stats.

How many waves did you actually catch? Was that your fastest session? Which peak worked better on the incoming tide? Without data, every surf blurs into the last. You can't improve what you don't measure — and generic fitness trackers don't understand surfing.

The surfing tracker app built for riders

Not a generic fitness tracker with a water icon. Features designed for how surfing actually works.

Automatic wave counting

Watersports Tracker detects and counts your waves during the session. See your total wave count alongside distance paddled and time in the water.

See where you caught every wave

Your GPS trace shows exactly where you were in the lineup. Replay your session on the map to see which peaks produced your best rides.

Track from your wrist while you surf

Start and monitor your session from Apple Watch. No need to touch your phone once you're in the water. Customise your watch screen to show wave count, duration, and heart rate.

Heart rate through every duck dive

See how hard you're actually working. Heart rate data syncs from Apple Watch throughout your session and counts toward your activity rings.

Stats you'll track every session

Everything recorded automatically. Just hit start and focus on the water.
