Automatic Surf Log for Apple Watch

By Darian Macharowski. Updated 26 August 2026.

A surf log is only useful if you keep it going. Start a session on your Apple Watch, surf normally, and Gone Surfing logs your waves, maps, fitness data and post-surf recap automatically.

Why use an automatic surf log?

Surfing progress is hard to follow when conditions change and sessions blur together. Gone Surfing keeps the useful parts of each surf in one place:

• Waves and ride details: wave count, distance, duration, speed and GPS lines
• Paddling and fitness: paddle distance, strokes, heart rate, calories and endurance
• Maps and trends: paddle routes, wave starts, cadence and dashboard charts
• Post-surf recap: an AI Surf Coach takeaway based on your session

Manual logs make those details tedious to enter, and the takeaway is easy to skip. Automatic surf logging handles the capture while you stay focused on the lineup.

How to log a surf automatically with Gone Surfing

1. Start a session on your Apple Watch. That starts the in-water recording, including automatic wave detection.
2. Let the app count and map the surf: waves, ride details, distances, speeds and paddle routes appear in the session.
3. Keep the fitness data: heart rate zones, calories, paddle strokes and endurance are tracked, and the session saves to Apple Health as a workout.
4. Open the post-surf recap: the AI Surf Coach turns the session into a practical takeaway.
5. Check your history in the dashboard: charts across weeks, months and all time, plus a home screen widget with your last 30 days at a glance.
