Surf Watch Download
Surf Watch will notify you when wind and wave conditions for your favorite buoys match your ideal surf criteria.
Select your favorite NOAA buoys from a list or map and set your ideal surf criteria based on wave height, dominant wave period, swell direction, wind direction and wind speed. Choose when during the day you'd prefer to receive notifications and Surf Watch will take it from there.

Bob Tedeschi, The New York Times Before explaining, a little warning: for people who have no idea how coastal buoy data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration relates to a favorite surf spot, this app will mean a slight learning curve.
But if, like many avid surfers, you know which buoys are bellwethers for your spot, prepare to inhale the catnip.
Kat Dawes, surf girl magazine "From the neat little clicks and James Bond-esque sounds down to the thorough help screens and the seamless, uncluttered interface, it’s quality. Just pick your buoy's anywhere in the world and you can then view past data including tides, with your top three buoys displayed dashboard-style for at-a-glance checks. But the beauty is the forecasting and alerts. Enter the ideal conditions for surf nearby, and when your criteria are met, it’ll tell you via an alarm or alert between times you specify. Never miss a surf again!" ★★★★★
Dr. Graeme Rae, Surfline.com The thing looks GREAT - very nicely designed and very intuitive.
Joe Carter, Surf Video Producer This app gets you to the beach. The only surf app worth buying.
Chris Lessard, Ocean Lifeguard Captain As an ocean lifeguard and a surfer this app is an absolute must have.
PondCove, iTunes Store Get your local buoy report fast! A nice app that instantly shows the local NOAA buoy readings for wave height, interval, and wind direction. ★★★★★
Alaska surfer, iTunes Store Needed for calculating waves! A must for waves that no one is doing a surf report on!!! Alarms work awesome. ★★★★★
Coopfinn, iTunes Store Awesome app. You don't have to rely on someone elses surf report. ★★★★★
SSSDPL, iTunes Store Excellent, USEFUL app! Obviously the designers CARE about surfing- Thanks! ★★★★
g larou, iTunes Store I love my new off-board wave-tracking brain. Surf Watch works. It's simple and reliable. It lets you track all wave predictors with custom input for all your favorite spots. It'll wake you up when there's surf and tell you where to go. It just needs an excuse generator for getting out of work early. ★★★★★
LordPakal, iTunes Store This is by far the best app for surfing that I have found. Well worth the $10. The alerts are nice and the reports are accurate. ★★★★★
jakewolf, iTunes Store Pretty sweet. Push notifications are sweet. A couple of my buoys are down, not the apps fault. Really slick design and interface. ★★★★
YokweYokwe, iTunes Store This is the one I've been waiting for. This is the one I've been waiting for. Haven't see a surf app that comes close to being as useful as Surf Watch. Interface is awesome. By that I mean it's intuitive. I'll never have to wake up at 4am to check the buoys. Surf Watch does it for me. If it's good it wakes me up. If not I sleep:) This is the only surf app that I call a must have. ★★★★★
