The app is Great and it workshop really good in my garmin fenix5x. At the end of the surf seccion it gives details of the waves, time surfing, etc. but this kind of information does not pass to garmin app and Strava. It only show the map and the km...

I don’t know why but can’t count any waves I ride. Have been using for a while and no waves counting at all. Any help to fix this?

This app is fantastic and the best surfing app by far. Have been using for over year with no issues… and continue to use. Did Garmin just do an updated that effects wave tracking? Problem started 2 weeks ago. All data is captured on watch and transfers to Strava correct.. but not in Garmin connect app.

Garmin broke some of the functionality as described by the dev but still works great! Uploading to strava you can see the individual waves/laps, gps, and heart rate just fine. Thanks for a great simple app!

The app is good on the watch but on the phone it doesn't show the total waves the rest of the data.

Best APP for surfing! Thanks for this great work. I use it on MK1 and it detects waves really good. Sadly Garmin has broken the displayed wavecount. I would pay for it when it would be fixed. Rounds seem to be from one wave to the other. It would be nice to have each wave as an own round to see stats like 1 wave, 30 seconds standing, Max 18kmh. Probably it is also possible to detect turns?

Very poor app you cannot see your wave rides as a breakdown analysis of your wave rides separately for ex the course of your ride on the Map the speed the acceleration in every sec of a waveride the height of the wave For 2022 you cannot sell watches to show calories and distance so boring Dawn patrol for ex in surfing is far ahead Garmin products need support

Um, I don't sell watches garmin does, so you'd be better off crying to them not here in a review :D you can see all that breakdown but only if you have a watch that garmin classes as a surf watch. Besides if you're relying on an app to tell you the size of the wave (it can't) you have a lot to learn before worrying about other stats lol

Hi, if it won't lock the gps, first make sure you're outside (gps won't work indoors), if it still won't find a signal close the app and open one of the built in Garmin apps (eg running, cycling etc) and wait until they pick up a good gps then close that app and restart the surfing app. This should work fine, you shouldn't need to do this again but it seems a problem with some watches if they haven't used gps recently or are at a new location.

Hi, it looks like its stuck in the gps signal search when starting the app. Is there a way to fix this?

Très bonne application. Je l’utilise depuis un an pour toutes mes sessions. On peut régler la durée de vagues détectables et les vitesses semblent assez justes. Je recommande.

Hi, I have been using the surf app for a couple of years now, it is excellent. The GPS seems to get stuck on 3 squares is there a fix?

It’s a shame the app won’t start an activity without GPS. My Garmin is a vivoactive 4 so the app wants to use my phones GPS, the only problem is I don’t take my phone surfing.

So much better than the original Garmin app on Fenix 6 Pro Solar. With a little tuning of the parameters (I increased both by 1) wave count is great. When transferred on the watch you can see individual waves on the map, which you could not with the same app on my previous Vivoactive watch. The only think is that on Garmin Connect the wave count is different than on the watch, it looks like Garmin is doing some post processing, and making it worse… I hope there was a way to fix that. In any case great app.

Se queda bloqueado antes de los 5 minutos de uso en mi fenix 5. Se para el tiempo transcurrido y no cuenta las olas. En mi reloj no funciona

A very useful app. I had to restart my vivoactive 4 before the GPS could be picked up. I can see it being really helpful to record and evaluate sessions. I donated to support the developer. Maybe if the name was changed to wave tracker it wouldn't clash with Garmin's monopoly on activities (and widen appeal to other ocean sports)
