Surf Log is a free surfing tracker for iPhone. Log the spot, the board, the conditions, and how it felt — in under a minute, no smartwatch required — and build a surf logbook you'll actually look back on.

Sessions, quiver, goals and conditions — everything a surf diary should hold, none of the admin.
How it works
Surf Log is made for surfers, not generic workout tracking. Three steps, straight after you towel off.
Pick the spot with the surf spot picker, set date, time and duration, choose the surfboard you rode, and rate the session.
Record wave size, wind, tide and ocean conditions plus notes — so you can later see exactly what made a good day good.
See your history by spot and board, track goals and habits, and understand your progress over time. Synced with iCloud.
